Eugenics

Civilization is in danger when youth neglect to interest themselves in ethics, sociology, eugenics, philosophy, the fine arts, religion, and cosmology. 111:4.4

It is the false sentiment of our partially perfected civilizations that fosters, protects, and perpetuates the hopelessly defective strains of evolutionary human stocks. 52:2.11-12 99:3.5

in the most developed continental nation of a neighboring planet, the feeble-minded are committed in colonies and cannot reproduce, slavery has been abolished a hundred years ago and the least capable slaves has been deported, and breeding is prohibited for criminals and defectives 72:4.2 72:5.2 (72:10.1,3)

there are mortals who are virtually disqualified for survival by disinheritance through the agency of unfit and inferior ancestors 109:3.8

Adamic age usually witnesses the completion of the elimination of the unfit and the still further purification of the racial strains 52:3.4

Present-day prejudice against “half-castes,” “hybrids,” and “mongrels” arises because modern racial crossbreeding is, for the greater part, between the grossly inferior strains of the races concerned. 82:6.3

In the Urantia Book

Dangers of an excess of inferior stocks

• Greek culture perished due to imported slaves of the Danubian 80:7.6
• matings between inferior strata diminish creativity 82:6.5
• poverty and dependence can never be eliminated if the defective and degenerate stocks are freely supported and permitted to reproduce without restraint. 71:3.8

Recommended societal actions

• The progressive program of an expanding civilization embraces race improvement 71:4.11
• If the present-day races of Urantia could be freed from the curse of their lowest strata of deteriorated, antisocial, feeble-minded, and outcast specimens, there would be little objection to a limited race amalgamation. 70:9.14 82:6.4-7
• an all-important work is eliminating defectives and degenerates from among human strains 52:2.9-12 64:1.8 70:8.14-18 75:1.1-2 79:2.4-8 79:4.2 82:6.11
• we ought to be able to agree upon the biologic disfellowshiping of our more markedly unfit, defective, degenerate, and antisocial stocks. 51:4.8 52:5.9
• The continued improvement of a race throughout the era of light and life is largely a matter of the selective reproduction of those racial strains which exhibit superior qualities of a social, philosophic, cosmic, and spiritual nature. Reproduction is regulated and and couples from lower groups can only procreate half as much as higher couples 55:4.11 55:6.3
• The difficulty of executing such a radical program on Urantia consists in the absence of competent judges to pass upon the biologic fitness or unfitness of the individuals of your world races. 51:4.8
• Civilizations of great promise have successively deteriorated and have finally been extinguished by the folly of allowing the superior freely to procreate with the inferior. 64:1.8
• The subnormal man should be kept under society’s control and normal man should be fostered 68:6.11
• it would not prove beneficial for the higher strains of Urantia mortals to mate with the lower races 51:5.7
• In a general way, man’s evolutionary destiny is in his own hands, and scientific intelligence must sooner or later supersede the random functioning of uncontrolled natural selection and chance survival. 65:3.6
• unfit should be eliminated before a racial blending 51:4.8

Deplorable means

• During the previous hunting era the superior tribes had intermarried with the higher types of war captives and had unvaryingly destroyed those whom they deemed inferior. 80:3.9
• the Andonites of Badonan, the Adamites, and the Andites all started wars of extermination of the inferior races. The Andonites exterminated their half-animal neighbors and formed the Neanderthal race. The Adamites exterminated the Neanderthals and formed the Cro-Magnon race. The Andites subsequently exterminated the Cro-Magnon blue men. 64:3.5 80:1.7 80:5.5-6
• Although war must be abandoned when civilization progresses, ancient wars led to the decimation of inferior peoples. Modern warfare does the opposite and destroys the best human stocks 70:2.3-9
• The early races often resorted to practices designed to restrict population; all primitive tribes killed deformed and sickly children. 68:6.8
• never did the barter in sex slaves advance society; such traffic was and is a racial disgrace, for at one and the same time it hindered the development of family life and polluted the biologic fitness of superior peoples. 69:5.10
