Eugenics, that promoted planned breeding to ensure 'racial improvement', was central to the development of genetics and led to horrifying policies. However, eugenics is not dead and continues to influence science and policy today. Thus, we should include eugenics in our undergraduate classes to remind students that scientists must speak out when others lie about science and use it to further their political views.
优生学，即提倡有计划地生育以确保“种族改良”，在遗传学发展中处于核心地位，并导致了可怕的政策。然而，优生学并未消亡，如今仍在影响着科学和政策。因此，我们应该在本科课程中纳入优生学内容，以提醒学生，当其他人在科学问题上说谎并利用科学来推进其政治观点时，科学家必须发声。
