Eugenic Governance / 优生学治理

Eugenic governance / 优生学治理 is the source’s term-worthy pattern where heredity claims, intelligence labels, and state power combine to manage reproduction, migration, schooling, institutionalization, or death. In 37.智商测试：请问你是智力婆罗门吗？, the pattern begins with [[FrancisGalton|Francis Galton / 弗朗西斯·高尔顿]]’s ambition to encourage high-scoring reproduction and discourage or restrict the reproduction of those labeled unfit.

The episode stresses that eugenic governance often appears under benevolent language: improving society, helping the poor, reducing burden, or making policy scientific. Its danger is that compassion, efficiency, and measurement can become a route to [[ForcedSterilizationByEugenics|forced sterilization]], immigration exclusion, segregated education, and eventually the disability-killing branch associated with [[NaziGermany|Nazi Germany / 纳粹德国]].

Key Claims

• Eugenic governance turns a biological or psychological category into a political right to decide whose lives should continue.
• Measurement does not neutralize prejudice when the categories already encode class, race, gender, disability, or moral panic.
• The source treats [[CarrieBuck|Carrie Buck / 卡丽·巴克]] as the clearest case of eugenic governance becoming legal bodily violence.
• The policy danger escalates when courts, schools, medical institutions, and family shame reinforce one another.
