ÖZET
Öjenik hareket, uygulamalarını nesli ıslah etmek amacıyla biyolojik ve genetik temellere dayandırarak, iyi ırkın çoğalmasını, kötü ırkın çoğalmasının engellenmesini ve bu şekilde ıslah edilmiş ari bir ırk oluşturulması fikrini savunmaktadır. Nesli ıslah etmek için de engelliler, hastalar, suçlular gibi grupların toplumdan tecrit edilmesi, kısırlaştırılması ve hatta yok edilmesi gerektiği savunulmaktadır. Bu fikir, ulus devletlerinin oluşmasıyla bazı devletler tarafından da desteklenmiştir. Ancak öjenik hareketin, ileri sürdüğü fikirlerin sınırlarının oldukça geniş olması sebebiyle ırkçılıkla bütünleşerek, tehlikeli boyutlara ulaşması kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Bu çalışmada ise bir yandan iyi bir nesil oluşturma gibi pozitif bir fikri öne süren, diğer yandan insanların temel haklarının yok sayılmasına kadar giden uygulamaları savunan öjeni hareketinin hukuki, genetik ve psikolojik açıdan değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada, öncelikle öjenik hareketin görünüş biçimlerinin evrensel hukukta nasıl yorumlandığı ve yerel mevzuatta nasıl bir düzenlemeyle karşılaşıldığı incelenmiştir. Bunun yanında, modern hukuk açısından öjenik çalışmalara ilişkin düzenlemelerin ne yönde evirildiğine değinilmiştir. Öjeni hareketinin motivasyon kaynağında, 'patolojik narsizm' ve 'antisosyal yapı'ya işaret eden, 'amaçtaki mükemmele ulaşmak ve bunun için de saldırganlığa başvurmayı hak görme'nin olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın psikolojik boyutunda, öjenizmin motivasyonunu anlamak için antisosyal yapı ve narsistik yapının incelenmesi düşünülmüştür. Öjenik hareketlerin genetik sürecine bakıldığında, nesli ıslah etme ve kusurlu sayılan genlerin taşınmasını önleme amacıyla yapılan müdahaleler görülmüş ve bunlar negatif öjeniye dâhil edilmiştir. Öte yandan, genetik araştırmaların ilerlemesiyle beraber pozitif öjeni kapsamında, genetik bilginin insan üremesi bağlamında nasıl kullanılabileceğine de değinilmiştir.

ABSTRACT
The eugenic movement, having laid its practices on biological and genetic foundations to rehabilitate the generation, advocates the idea of promoting the reproduction of the good race and preventing the reproduction of the bad race and thus, the creation of a pure race. It is argued that groups such as the disabled, sick and criminals should be isolated, sterilized and even exterminated to rehabilitate the generation. However, having integrated with racism, the eugenic movement reached dangerous dimensions. This study aims to evaluate the eugenics with both positive and negative aspects from a legal, genetic and psychological perspective. The study tries to assess the interpretation of the examples of eugenics in universal law and its implementations in local legislation. In regard with the psychological aspect of the study, it is thought that the motivation source of the eugenic movement is 'achieving the ultimate perfection and sense of entitlement to resort to violence and the use of force as a means', which indicates 'pathological narcissism' and 'antisocial structure'. Considering the genetic aspect of eugenic movements, interventions to rehabilitate and prevent the transmission of defective genes have been seen and these were classified under negative eugenics. Considering the genetic aspect of eugenic movements in history, interventions to rehabilitate the generation were classified as both negative and positive eugenics. On the other hand, within the scope of positive eugenics, how genetic information can be utilized in the context of human reproduction is also addressed.
