That is eugenics, a word coined by and a movement started by Charles Darwin's cousin Francis Galton in the mid 19th Century. Inspired by Origin of Species, Galton went on a campaign to improve the human race through selective breeding. By the time of Galton's death in 1911 the movement was as big as Environmentalism is today. Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt were strong supporters. It was still going strong into the 1940s until the first reports of German concentration camps came from conquered Germany. Within the space of barely a year the movement melted away under the realization that the extermination of humans was a logical extension of the movement's efforts to forcibly sterilize "defective" humans.
