JUDGE AND THE UNFIT
STERILISATION THEORY.
Mr. Justice Roche, in his charge at Durham Assizes on February 21st, said at least half the cases in the calendar arose out of an unbalanced state of mind, and were offences committed by people, a few of them insane, but others of distinctly weak intellect. It Was not for him to advance any particular remedy, but he would ventare to say that segregation of the mentally unft was certainly An economy and certainly merciful, and he thought it was for the medical faculty of this
country to consider very seriously Whether there was not another course open which was taken in some States of America, and he believed with 5000 success, namely, sterilisation of a certain number of persons who were obviously unft and undesirable to do what they abnormally desired to do, to commit unnatural and in- decent offences and to propagate apocies trong very unlit material. It was for the medical faculty to consider how far, consis tently
with safety and merey, they might imitate the example
of those States of America He wished to state sterilisation of the unfit had nothing to do with birth tral, which, as he understood it, was volan tary limitation by the prudent of their families. Segregation and sterilisation of the unit was some sort of attempt to prevent the most unfit persons from extending their numbers.
