American Association for the Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality : ウィキペディア英語版 | American Association for the Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality The American Association for the Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality (AASPIM) was one of the first organizations to begin investigating infant mortality rates in terms of eugenics. They promoted government intervention in attempts to promote the health of future citizens. The AASPIM was founded at a November 1909 conference on the prevention of infant mortality, held in New Haven, Connecticut by the American Association of Medicine (AAM). Its first annual meeting took place at Johns Hopkins University in November 1910.〔Meckel, Save the Babies, p 110〕 Luther Emmett Holt, in his 1913 presidential address to the AASPIM members, opposed the opinion that lowering infant mortality might help genetically unfit individuals to survive and thereby affect the nation's strength. In contrast, he held the position that :''We must eliminate the unfit by birth not by death. The race is to be most effectively improved by preventing marriage and reproduction by the unfit, among whom we would class the diseased, the degenerate, the defective, and the criminal.''〔Meckel, op.cit., p 117-118〕 ==See also==
