Early life and background

Charles John Bond was born on 27 October 1856 in Bittesby House, Leicestershire to George Bond, an English farmer and grazier, and Elizabeth Bond, née Higginson. Charles Bond worked on his father's farm and it was decided that he would either become a farmer or a medical doctor.

Bond was an outdoor pupil at the Leicester Royal Infirmary and enrolled to study medicine at University College London. Bond was a contemporary of Victor Horsley and Frederick Walker Mott, both of whom had distinguished careers as medical doctors and scientists.

Bond had a distinguished medical career at University College London and he won two gold medals in physiology and anatomy and silver medals in surgery, midwifery and medical jurisprudence. In addition to these honours, Bond also served as an assistant demonstrator in anatomy. Following the completion of his medical studies in 1879, Bond served as a house surgeon at the Bedford General Infirmary. In 1881, Bond was elected as a member of the British Medical Association.

Working alongside Sir Charles Hayes Marriott, Bond introduced antiseptic methods of surgery at the Royal Infirmary. In 1886, Bond was promoted to the position of honorary surgeon at the Leicester Royal Infirmary.

Proponent of eugenics and euthanasia movement

Charles John Bond was an active proponent of the eugenics movement and he strongly advocated that euthanasia should be legalised. Bond often conducted genetic experiments on animals in his garden and poultry yard.
