JUDGE AND THE UNFIT

STERILISATION THEORY.

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.
