Very interesting episode dealing with eugenics theories, and the "Eugenics Wars" that supposedly took place in the 1990s. While I was vaguely aware of Nazi theories of genetic purity, I'd never heard of "eugenics" at that time, although I was still pretty young when I first saw this episode in syndication.
Going forward to Khan, I loved it when Kirk said "Khan - I'm laughing at the superior intellect." The looks on both Shatner's and Ricardo's faces were priceless - similar to Seed, they both truly looked as if if they disdained one another.

Sadly, some of those originated in the U.S.
Wiki article
Brave New World was, in large part, influenced by these late 19th/early 20th century eugenics theories in the West (albeit Huxley implicitly rejected them.)
