Eugenic ideas indicate virtues of "proper" and "improper" reproductiveness of "proper" and "improper" women; thus indicating socially desired and undesired human life. In the course of the 20th century new medical methods and treatments try to implement eugenic ideas through prevention or encouragement of births. The original purpose underlying the exceeding development of recent reproductive technologies was not the idea of helping infertility, but the attempt for "commanding" human reproduction more "efficiently". In this sense of "efficiency" it was implicitly intended to encourage some women to have children while on the other hand some other women should renounce.Method/Procedure:
- introduction to the topic by the lecturer
- group work
- presentations and group work with plenary discussions
- audio-visual material
