There is no short-cut by way of euthenics, merely We must now consider whether there is any direct way of impairing good heredity.— Applied Eugenics
He not only works for a better human stock but, because he does not want to see his efforts wasted, he always works to provide the best possible environment for this better stock In so far, then, as euthenics is actually providing man with more favorable surroundings,--not with ostensibly more favorable surroundings which, in reality, are unfavorable--there can be no antagonism between it and eugenics.— Applied Eugenics
If they had had more euthenics, they should have lived longer But this illustration certainly gives no ground for a belief that euthenics is sufficient to prolong one's life beyond the inherited limit.— Applied Eugenics
A study of these long-lived families from another point of view will reveal that heredity is the primary factor and that good environment, euthenics, is the secondary one For this purpose we augment the 100 families of the preceding section by the addition of 240 more families like them, and we examine each family history to find how many of the children died before completing the fourth year of life.— Applied Eugenics
Every euthenic measure should be scrutinized from the evolutionary standpoint; if it is eugenic as well as euthenic, it should be whole-heartedly favored; if it is dysgenic but euthenic it should be condemned or adopted, according to whether or not the gain in all ways from its operation will exceed the damage In general, euthenics, when not accompanied by some form of selection (i. e., eugenics) ultimately defeats its own end.— Applied Eugenics
