[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]In a 1909 speech to the Society for German Scientists and Physicians, the anthropologist and eugenicist Felix von Luschan made the dichotomy between the valuable and the inconsequential clear in his response to the question, ”Who is inferior? “ ” e sick, the weak, the dumb, the stupid, the alcoholic, the bum, the criminal; all these are inferior,’“ von Luschan main- tained, ”compared with the healthy, the strong, the in- telligent, the clever, the sober, the pure’“ (p. 95). Gen- erally, two overlapping categories were expendable: the disabled (especially the mentally ill) and those who were economically unproductive. Non-European ”races,“ too, were consigned to moral oblivion as a result of the contribution of evolutionary theory to racial science. [/QUOTE]—Richard Weikart.
