Iowa Eugenics Project Uncovered

     Human Genome Research student, Alger Michaels, said in an interview on Des Moines Public Access Television, "I have taken the details of series of reports called the Iowa Eugenics Survey, which was submitted to Governor of Iowa in 1927 and then revised and resubmitted in 1935. This was really the Golden Age of Eugenics, but with my own research, data, and experiments I think my dissertation will engender a Eugenics Renaissance, and wake up people of all races to the vitally important need to run a bug skimmer through our gene pool and maybe add much needed chlorine as part of a rigorous pool maintenance program."

     Michaels' plan examines "good" and "bad" families in the state and lists the actual names and home addresses of those whom he has determined need to be eliminated. This has outraged many not only in the state, but across the country as the news brokers pick up the story. Michaels contends this is not a privacy issue, but a free speech issue. He further states that he is not calling for extermination by using the term "eliminated" but merely expressing his heartfelt opinion that these undesirables should be removed from the procreation equation, perhaps by sterilization or physical deportation to some remote region of the globe, such as Madagascar. He admits, however, that should these suggestions be determined to be inadequate, the plan does have provisions for more "extreme" measures.

     After the dissertation was submitted to his doctoral committee, it was learned that copies of the plan were mysteriously leaked and circulated among state policy makers who began the preliminary work of dusting off sterilization statutes still on the books since 1931.

     Several states, not just Iowa, have archaic laws still on the books which are no longer enforces, but remain perfectly legal. Iowa City, for example still has a law which makes it illegal to wear a pair of spurs in public within the city limits, and only recently had a public vote to remove the dueling statute from its books. Many feel the sterilization statute should be removed as well. Opponents say that such a law would never be used today and the expense of holding a public resolution to remove it would cost too much money.

     "Look, we accept that Darwin is ok to be taught in the schools," Michaels states in his defense, "Social Darwinism is the logical next step, but people are too gutless to take it. We already do it on a personal level-we are attracted to healthy, beautiful people. On an emotional level, sure we want to hold and caress that contestant on the Miss Fitness Pageant, but it stems from a genetic predisposition to create a stronger gene pool by having the best and the most beautiful make even more healthy and beautiful people. I didn't invent this stuff, God did. I believe it is unnatural, perverse, and ultimately against God for ugly, stupid, genetically flawed people to reproduce. It all makes sense if you read my plan and really think about the gene pool/swimming pool analogy. Do you really want to swim in a pool with no filtration system or regular cleaning schedule?"

     If implemented, the plan would result in the sterilization of several thousand poor, rural Iowans; all foreign students as a criteria for admission to state universities, and others deemed unfit to procreate for a wide range of reasons-including those with tendencies toward poor eyesight and excessive masturbation.

     "The Liberals and the Radical Left are the ones who are trying to not only suppress my freedom to speak on this issue, but are trying to get me kicked out of school too," Michaels explains, "the bastards are such fucking hypocrites. They scream about a woman's right to choose, well, what about society's right to choose? Huh? Nothing else has worked, or even could work, and the people know it. And talk about these tax and spend relief programs and welfare systems designed not to help people but to bankrupt the system...my plan is so simple, and yet it would effectively manage the misery of the poor-by eliminating poverty altogether. Domestic abuse and alcoholism and just about every other social ill you can name the Liberals tell us is not the fault of the deviant, but of recessive genes and inbreeding-or some flaw beyond the ability of the deviant to control. Duh, people! If that is the case then wouldn't a sane person try to solve the problem after identifying it? By simply reducing the number of babies born to sick or unwed parents, and by attracting desirable couplings and controlled fornication, we can build a healthier society, and isn't that what everybody wants?"

     Michaels, who is 4'8", covered in warts, wears glasses, and suffers from the effects of syphilis not treated until stage three, said most average Iowans seem willing to accept eugenic solutions.

     "Every step of the way, I wondered if I should even be writing it, but I knew it was the right thing to do, and if you read the dissertation, you will too. My work divides people into two camps. Those who openly agree with me and those who are liars."

     The plan outlines pedigrees of degeneracy, and Michaels freely admits he does not fit the profile of one who would be allowed to produce offspring.

     "That's why I don't understand the public outcry," he laments. "I mean, it would be different if I were some Aryan superman saying kill everybody who doesn't look like me, but I'm saying, hey, look at me! I'm a great example of exactly the type of person there shouldn't be any more of. If I weren't already sterile, I'd go out and get a vasectomy right now. Really."
