Congress Of Eugenics Proposes Cash Bonuses For Good Heredity
At the International Congress of Eugenics in New York the proposal urged state payments of 50 monthly to parents of children with good heredity, plus 10 or more for each additional child, with age limits and death provisions. Proponents argued tax incentives and education rebates could aid gifted offspring, while critics warned benefits may not reach the truly gifted. Abortions were discussed as healthful in some Russian cases but not as eugenic progress, and sterilization was urged for those with mental defects.
