Join host Jane Turville as she talks with filmmaker Stephanie Welch about the history of population control, both past and present, in America. In her film A DANGEROUS IDEA: EUGENICS, GENETICS AND THE AMERICAN DREAM, Stephanie explores how science focused on genetics has morphed into a social Darwinism in America's social/political life. In Part 1, we'll explore how the belief that some groups and individuals are inherently superior to others and more deserving of fundamental rights came to be and why it continues to be intricately woven into the fabric of American life. Part 2 of this interview will air on Friday, January 15th.
