The Case for Sterilization (Classic Reprint)

Since the year 1934 opened there has been a startling increase in the attention given to the subject of sterilization, an increase which among American newspaper-readers is probably due largely to the news from Germany that Hitler has undertaken to have some four hundred thousand Germans sterilized nearly a hundredth part of the population. Whether this order is or is not directed exclusively at the Jews, it is so grave a decision as to justify fully the recent discussion of it among thousands of persons in our own country who may never before have taken any real interest in the subject. Many far-sighted men and women in both England and A merica, however, have long been working earnestly toward something very like what Hitler has now made compulsory. Ridiculed, even vilified, they have fought courageously and steadily for the legalization of what they consider a constructive agency in the betterment of the race.
