word of the week

Word: eugenicist

Dictionary Definition: "selective breeding as proposed human improvement: the proposed improvement of the human species by encouraging or permitting reproduction of only those people with genetic characteristics judged desirable. It has been regarded with disfavor since the Nazi period."

How it was used: "In the late 1870s, scientist and eugenicist Sir Francis Galton developed an image of the prototypical "face of crime" by creating composite photos of men convicted of serious offenses."

My sentence: "Hey Bob, want to do some eugenicist today?" "No thanks, I'm cool."

You need to take another whack at putting that word in a sentence. Yours is pretty lame.
