In 1933 the [[Nazi Party]] passed a eugenics law based on Laughlin's model and he was awarded an honorary degree for his work towards racial hygiene by the University of Heidelberg. This law ultimately led to the decline of support for eugenics groups and the Carnegie Institute concluded that Laughlin's work had no scientific merit, with a biographer branding him "the most racist and [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] of the early twentieth-century eugenicists". Laughlin died peacefully in January 1943. | In 1933 the [[Nazi Party]] passed a eugenics law based on Laughlin's model and he was awarded an honorary degree for his work towards racial hygiene by the University of Heidelberg.
