Fun fact that you may wish to totally ignore: Tesla supported eugenics, and spoke about it often. In other words, he supported eliminating the stupid, the sick, and the criminals. I say this as a man with a Tesla coil sitting behind me, and as someone who has always liked Tesla. But be wary of turning your heroes into gods. They made mistakes, as we all do.

'The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man’s new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct. Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.'
