Eugenics Society Members List - U-Z.

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:
"Perhaps the most striking evidence of genetic differences is provided by the inferiority of negro to white college students ... Negroes ... seem to be strongest in rote memory and in common sense concrete tasks, least good in abstract reasoning ... (Audrey Shuey's study is) ... as impartial as any." (from a review of The Testing of Negro Intelligence. 1958 by Audrey Shuey, review by P.E. Vernon, ER 1960, p. 174); see The Legacy of Malthus. by Allen Chase for a discussion of the racist manipulation of the controversy over negro intelligence.

Pubns:
editor, "Biology and Human Affairs", the Journal of the British Social Biology Council, formerly known as the British Social Hygiene Council. (see Sybil Neville Rolfe q.v.). The magazine first appeared in 1935. Its address in 1972 was 69 Ecclestone Square, the building which the Eugenics Society owned and used as its headquarters until 1989.
Quotes:
Foundations of the NHS:
"It was the British Social Biology Council which first put forward the concept of Social Biology ... Social Biology is ... the foundation of the health and welfare services ... it has contributions to make to Philosophy, Moral Questions and Spiritual Experience." Biology and Human Affairs, Cover Statement of Purpose, 1972 Vol. 37.
(In actual fact, the German Eugenic Society, the men behind Hitler, called themselves "the society for race hygiene and social biology. So it was the Nazis and their associates who first put forward the idea of social biology.)
Motivation still Malthusian:
"A Turning Point in Human History. In April this year the Family Planning Association, PEP and the Government are putting into action a project to give 100% coverage in family planning to the whole town communities of Runcorn and Coalville. In this way they expect to save 500,000 [British pounds] in welfare services at a cost of 50,000. This project is not entirely novel but it helps to point the way to population control based on wanted babies only." Biology and Human Affairs, 1972, Vol. 37, no. 2, p. 40

Quotes:
Abortion Law:
"Abortion (or miscarriage) ... may be deliberately induced, when it is a serious crime. For legal purposes, abortion means feticide: the intentional destruction of the fetus in the womb, or any untimely delivery brought about with intent to cause the death of the fetus" from Textbook of Criminal Law. (2nd ed. 1983), p. 292, quoted in ALDU Newsletter, Spring, 1988, no. 37
Child or Fetus:
"There is a linguistic point and a philosophical point. Ordinary language is uncertain: people used to speak of a pregnant woman being great with child, but on the other hand a woman might say she has no child yet. She is in the family way rather than having a family. It is quite natural to speak of a mature fetus as an unborn child, but it would be odd to refer to a microscopic fertilised ovum in that way. The philosophical debate is whether there is a difference in moral status between the fetus and the born child. Only by stages do women come to regard the embryo as a separate entity from themselves. Most people agree that at some point of development a fetus has or should have rights, but not the full rights of a born child. We cannot go into this problem further, but it is enough to say that the word fetus is here used to cover the product of conception before birth", from Textbook of Criminal Law. Sec 13. 4 (2nd Edition: 1983)
Personhood :
"... it is live extraction from the woman that endows the fetus with legal personality", from Textbook of Criminal Law., quoted Hansard, p. 1059, Embryo Bill debate 18 Oct 1990
Antidemocratic:
"democratic opinion ... refuses to see any genetic differences, even in terms of the broadest tendencies, between the different social classes. As Bertrand Russell puts it: 'The ideas of eugenics are based on the assumption that men are unequal, while democracy is based on the assumption that they are equal. It is therefore politically very difficult to carry out eugenic ideas in a democratic community when those ideas take the form, not of suggesting that there is a minority of inferior people such as imbeciles, but of admitting that there is a minority of superior people. Measures embodying the former fact can therefore win the support of the majority, while measures embodying the latter cannot.' " from Sanctity of Life and the Criminal Law.
Support for Lawbreaking:
"In some illnesses an obstetrician is enabled to take into account illegal considerations - e.g. eugenics - under cover of the legal ones ... diabetics ... A surgeon who complies with the woman's demand for an abortion, acting in reality for the eugenic reason, may still find himself adequately protected by arguments looking to the therapeutic indication ... Under cover of therapy, eugenic considerations are coming to be avowed in some reports of American physicians. They are termed fetal indication ... The emotional stress is the legal reason for terminating, while eugenic considerations may be uppermost in the mind of the physician ... the legal course is apparently for the doctor to tell the mother of the risk in order to bring on the worry and then abort because of the worry." Williams then cites MS Guttmacher, Alan Guttmacher's twin brother. M. Guttmacher in Therapeutic Abortion. (ed. Rosen, 1954) "quotes Studdiford as saying that most physicians justify their eugenic abortions by stating that they are preventing the mother from developing a psychosis. He adds 'This is certainly an acceptable scientific rationalization for a socially necessary procedure." quoted in Sanctity of Life and the Criminal Law., p. 173-74
Eugenic Society Support for Abortion:
In January 1954 a Council meeting approved a proposal to support the Abortion Law Reform Association. (ER 1954-55, p. 11); see G.A. Whyte

Background:
Tobacco and Contraceptive Statistics:
R. A. Fisher q.v. worked for the Tobacco Institute. His statistics did not show the tobacco causes cancer. This is a base line for evaluating the claims of the FPA and drug companies that contraceptives do not cause cancer.
R.A. Fisher, the co-author of Statistical Tables, was unable to conclude that smoking causes cancer, though we know that this link exists.
If we knew why Fisher could not show the link, we could use the Statistical Tables with confidence. As it is, one must ask whether the financial support given by the Reynolds and Duke families to IPPF, a Eugenic Society member, somehow affected research into the dangers of tobacco.
Furthermore, one must ask whether the similar support given by drug companies, is currently affecting research into dangers of the Pill.
But in any case we know, by seeing what happened with tobacco, that the Statistical Tables. of Fisher and his methods will not pick up long term subtle damage. Therefore, since scientists are using this book and his methods, it cannot be said that the Pill is safe and consequently it should be taken off the market. Failing this, it should be treated as tobacco is now being treated - as a danger to health to which people are addicted.
Fisher himself died of cancer. Belief in one's own methods is not a protection against cancer.
