People have an aversion to the word "eugenics" because it's often connected to atrocity propaganda from World War II.

I'm not suggesting that every country should have genetic purity tests and policies on the level of Israel, just that we should understand that policies affect what kinds of people are more likely to be produced.

What policies post World War II have had eugenic effects on the population?
The policy forced sterilization of indigenous people that went on from the postwar period up until the start of the 21st century is an excellent example.
