ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Albert Edward Wiggam (1871-1957) traveled the lecture circuit promoting eugenics as "the final program for the complete Christianization of mankind" in The New Decalogue of Science (1922), popularizing the idea of race segregation and sterilization of the "unfit." Wiggam rewrote the Ten Commandments, in which "The Duty of Eugenics" replaced "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." The "Duty of Scientific Research" supplanted the proscription against making graven images, while the "Duty of Preferential Reproduction" replaced "Thou shalt not kill.""
