According to Hammons (1957), Eugenics is a significant trend in American families lives.  Eugenics can have social and economic environment developments. Parents who can provide favorable environments lead to better child development than those with less favorable environments. It is noted that families with more intelligence tend to have smaller families. Marriage was often delayed, leading to fewer children and waiting because people wanted to attend college. Eugenics hypothesis advances: back in the day, without a more significant number of participants could not be practical until there was more freedom to have as many or as few children as they wanted to.  However, today there is more encouragement where eugenics is concerned since more are having as many children as they desire regardless of their educational background (Hammons. H., 1957).

1916The video provided many social and ethical concerns.  Withholding any information regarding infertility and vaccinations is morally wrong.  Denying a mother from having a child due to social standing is also morally wrong.  Sterilization of women without their consent is ethically wrong as well.

Women, young and old, should be informed of vaccinations that could prevent them from carrying children.  This subject falls back on women’s rights: their bodies and choices.  No one should be able to dictate what a person does to their body, yet I see this more and more every day.

The WHO under no circumstances should be able to do this act again.  Women, young and old, should not have any information withheld regarding their right to have as many children as they want.
