Answer
Eugenic policies were supported by Carrel in Vichy France. These policies aimed to improve the genetic makeup of the French population by encouraging reproduction among those deemed "fit" and discouraging it among those considered "unfit." This was based on the belief that certain traits, such as intelligence and physical health, were inherited and could be selectively bred.
