Eugenics Society Members List - I-J.

Source of members names: From 1930 until 1990 members' names were published in the Society journal as they joined or became fellows. These sources are shown as a journal abbreviation followed by the year in which the person entered the Society, e.g., ER 1942. (ER = Eugenics Review; Bulletin of the Eugenics Society; B&S = Biology and Society). The Eugenics Review at times listed all the officers and members of the council. These sources are also shown as a journal abbreviation followed by a date. The Society is a corporation and its directors are listed in its annual reports deposited in Company House (CH). In 1937 the Society published a list of members in its Annual Report (ESAR 1937). In 1957 the Society published a list of members in the Eugenics Review (ER 1957). A list of members compiled in 1977 was deposited in the Welcome Archives (1977 list). Deaths of members were sometimes noted in obituaries in the Society journals (Obit + journal abbreviation and date). Other sources are as specified.

Quotes:
Jesus was a Eugenicist: In an address to the Eugenics Society, Inge pointed out that Jesus said: "Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit... Every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast in the fire". He explained this attack on false teachers as "admirably clear and unmistakable eugenics precepts ... This extension of the scope of the maxim seems to me quite legitimate. Men do not gather grapes of thorns. If we believe this and do not act upon it by trying to move public opinion towards giving social reform, education and religion better material to work upon (with the practical application of eugenic breeding), we are sinning against the light, and not doing our best to bring in the Kingdom of God upon the earth." quoted by Margaret Sanger in The Pivot of Civilization. 1922
Antidemocratic:
"Democracy is perhaps the silliest of all fetishes that are seriously worshipped among us.", from The Church and the Age. 1912
The Evil of Social Legislation:
"Humanitarian legislation or practice requires to be supplemented, and its inevitable evil effects counteracted, by eugenic practice, and ultimately by eugenic legislation." from "Some Moral Aspects of Eugenics", ER 1909, Vol. 1, no. 1

British Government Supported Attacks on Other National Cultures:
"Special priority is being given within the... (European) ... region to IPPF help for countries with religious and cultural barriers to family planning, to those countries with pro natalist policies ..." (from IPPF in FPA Annual Report 1978) (David Nowlan, Medical Correspondent for the Irish Times, is an IPPF official); see Eva Hubback q.v.

Quotes:
IUDs and Ectopic Pregnancies: "There is a tendency to accuse IUDs of encouraging ectopic pregnancy, but it should be borne in mind that with a method which does not prevent fertilisation but does prevent proper nidation there is bound to be a smaller proportion of intra-uterine than extra-uterine pregnancies. Thus it would be nearer the truth to say that IUDs do not prevent ectopic pregnancies but do not induce them.", from "The Changing Face of Family Planning", Margaret Jackson, Brit. J. of Family Planning 1980 p. 72; 6: 71-4 (what this statement overlooks is that there has been an actual increase in numbers of ectopic pregnancies. It is not just that ectopic pregnancies are concentrated in this group (proportion); it is that there are more than before (increase) and concentrated in this group.
Therefore IUD's are indicated as a vector. But, by manipulating statistics, Dr. Jackson confuses the issue, allowing this damaging of women to continue. See also how spina bifida was handled.

Background:
Alexis Carrell of the Rockefeller Institute published a book, Man the Unknown., in which he advocated euthanasia institutes for criminals. Carrell had won the Nobel prize for suturing techniques he developed. Later, in the Thirties, with Charles Lindberg of the American Eugenics Society, he developed an artificial pump for sustaining life. During WW II he went into Vichy territory and founded the Vichy Institute for Human Betterment. The purposes of the Institute are controversial.
But in Man the Unknown. Carrel said that a group of trained scientists-philosophers should be formed to guide the world. Carrel died in 1944. A book was put together by his widow and published under the title Reflections on Life. in 1952.
According to Caradog Jones, who reviewed the book, it was "a long contemplated analysis of life ... (including the ideas behind the Vichy Foundation) ... to which young people trained in his method would have contributed" (ER, July 1953, p. 109)
