Eugenics. [ Acts 17 v 24- 31]

In the 1930s America was infatuated with the pseudoscience of eugenics ,the science of improving a population by controlled breeding
in such a way as to increase the occurrence of desirable mental and physical characteristics. Now many in Britain were taken up with this also,but we will stick to USA,it is Laura Hillenbrand who writes the following ,/with its
promise of strengthening the human race,by culling the unfit,from the genetic pool. Along with the feeble minded,insane,and criminal,those so classified included  women who had sex outside of wedlock[ considered mental illness],orphans,the disabled,the homeless,epileptics,blind,
masturbators.Some eugenicists advocated euthanasia,and in mental hospitals,this was carried out on scores of people, forced sterilisation
 was carried on about 20,000 people.
     We sit in judgement on the Nazis who considered Jew's sub-human,
likewise the Japanese who considered the Chinese sub-human,but it
appears that many other nations considered much of humanity as sub-human.
      All this is far removed from Gods teaching,which teaches that,everyone is made in the image of God,and are precious in his sight,and it is in, we read ,that God loves the world[ Jn3v16].That means all the world, feeble minded,disabled,etc,all are precious in His sight.Jesus died for
the whosoever,that means you and me,whatever our condition.
                                         A prayer.
Dear God we praise for your non discriminatory love ,that reaches out to all,with the wonderful promise of forgiveness through accepting Jesus as Saviour,Amen.
