I want to post this not only because its an atrocity to humanity, but because it shows that the human race is evil in nature.... Many of us believe that Hitler and the Nazis are the ones who started sterilization in the name of eugenics but its not true...Hitler learn it from the US as it was going on in the early part of the century in this country...The Holmes they refer to in the text below is Oliver Wendell Holmes ... Appointed to supreme court by FDR. Buck v. Bell[edit source | editbeta] In 1927, Holmes wrote the 8-1 majority opinion in the Buck v. Bell case that upheld the forced sterilization of Carrie Buck who was claimed to be of below average intelligence. In support of his argument that the interest of the states in a pure gene pool outweighed the interest of individuals in their bodily integrity, he argued: "We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. Three generations of imbeciles are enough.
