| Summary | "Parenthood and Race Culture: An Outline of Eugenics" by C. W. Saleeby is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as a comprehensive exploration of eugenics, focusing on the implications of parenthood and the importance of selecting for better racial qualities. The author argues for the necessity of understanding heredity and race in order to enhance the human condition. The opening of the book outlines Saleeby's perspective on human existence, emphasizing the significance of parenthood as a crucial link in the continuity of life. He begins by discussing the historical context of eugenics, tying it to Charles Darwin's ideas of selection and survival. Highlighting what he views as societal neglect towards motherhood and child welfare, Saleeby calls for a new understanding of parenthood as both a privilege and a responsibility. He illustrates his arguments with vivid imagery and examples, advocating for a responsible approach to parenthood that recognizes the impact of heredity, environment, and social conditions on future generations.
