Eugenics wars

Eugenics wars

Eugenic wars is a pejorative term that refers to two distinct concepts:

#In biopolitics, eugenics wars are sociopolitical conflicts characterized by coercive state-sponsored genetic discrimination and human rights violations such as compulsory sterilization of persons with genetic defects, the killing of the institutionalized and, specifically, segregation from, and genocide of, "races" perceived as inferior.
#In the Star Trek fictional universe, Eugenics Wars is a world war that occurred during the mid to late 1990s, in which the progeny of a human genetic engineering project established themselves as supermen and attempted world domination.
