Institutions were largely based on the ideas of eugenics, which were founded by. Darwinian evolution that suggested only the ttest and best survive. Institutions were a place where forced sterilization of women and men who were intellectually impaired and physically impaired occurred commonly. Eugenics is the study of the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a particular population. Eugenics commonly supports the extermination of some groups whom some others consider undesirable population. Eugenics saw disability as a threat to progress, as well as nazi.
