"The exclusionary power of eugenic fitness significantly shaped how Americans perceived disabled and chronically ill people. If the goal of eugenics was to define the normal, fit and genetically superior individual, then the logical corollary was that everyone who didn’t meet that standard should be subjugated. It especially made them unfit for positions of power."
