Abstract
During the first three decades of the 20th century, eugenics became a popular concept in several countries throughout the world, especially the United States and, after World War I, in Germany. In his essay, Allen provides a historical account of this early eugenics movement and asks whether we are now moving toward a new era of eugenics, where reproductive decisions are made on the basis of social cost.Keywords
