The concept of eugenics is not new -- Plato even talked about "selective breeding" in 400 bc. But did you know that the discussion around eugenics had such a stronghold in the early 20th century that it led to the creation of the International Eugenics Conference? It's... exactly what you think. Join Matt and Carolanne this week as they discuss the bizarre and disturbing pro-eugenics meetings that took place in the 1900s involving names like Leonard Darwin, Winston Churchill, and Alexander Graham Bell.
