Description	Applied eugenics attempts to improve the human racial stock from two angles,--the positive and the negative. Positive eugenics is interested in the increase in birth-rate of physically and mentally superior individuals; negative eugenics is concerned with the restriction of the reproduction of the hereditarily inferior. Human sterilization, then, is a concern of negative or restrictive eugenics.
