CHAPTER VII.--WHO PREVENT p. 64
Desire for family limitation result of our social system.--Desire and
practice not uniform through all classes.--The best limit, the worst do
not.--Early marriages and large families.--N.Z. marriage rates.--Those
who delay, and those who abstain from marriage.--Good motives mostly
actuate.--All limitation implies restraint.--Birth-rates vary inversely
with prudence and self-control.--The limited family usually born in early
married life when progeny is less likely to be well developed.--Our
worst citizens most prolific. Effect of poverty on fecundity.--Effect
of alcoholic intemperance.--Effect of mental and physical
defects.--Defectives propagate their kind.--The intermittent inhabitants
of Asylums and Gaols constitute the greatest danger to society.--Character
the resultant of two forces--motor impulse and inhibition.--Chief criminal
characteristic is defective inhibition.--This defect is strongly
hereditary.--It expresses itself in unrestrained fertility.
CHAPTER VIII.--THE MULTIPLICATION OF THE FIT IN RELATION TO STATE p. 77
The State's ideal in relation to the fertility of its subjects.--Keen
competition means great effort and great waste of life.--If in the minds
of the citizens space and food are ample multiplication works
automatically.--To New Zealanders food now includes the luxuries as well
as the necessities of life.--Men are driven to the alternative of
supporting a family of their own or a degenerate family of
defectives.--The State enforces the one but cannot enforce the other.--New
Zealand taxation.--The burden of the bread-winner.--As the State lightens
this burden it encourages fertility.--The survival of the unfit makes the
burden of the fit.
CHAPTER IX.--THE MULTIPLICATION OF THE UNFIT IN RELATION TO THE
STATE p. 85
Ancient methods of preventing the fertility of the unfit.--Christian
sentiment suppressed inhuman practices.--Christian care brings many
defectives to the child-bearing period of life.--The association of mental
and physical defects.--Who are the unfit?--The tendency of relatives to
cast their degenerate kinsfolk on the State.--Our social conditions
manufacture defectives and foster their fertility.--The only moral force
that limits families is inhibition with prudence.--Defective self-control
transmitted hereditarily.--Dr. MacGregor's cases.--The transmission of
insanity.--Celibacy of the insane is the prophylaxis of insanity in the
race.--The environment of the unfit.--Defectives snatched from Nature's
clutches.--At the age of maturity they are left to propogate their kind.
CHAPTER X.--WHAT AN�SETICS AND ANTISEPTICS HAVE MADE POSSIBLE p. 99
Education of defectives in prudence and self-restraint of little
avail.--Surgical suggestions discussed.
CHAPTER XI.--TUBO-LIGATURE p. 110
The fertility of the criminal a greater danger to society than his
depredations.--Artificial sterility of women.--The menopause artificially
induced. Untoward results.--The physiology of the Fallopian tubes.--Their
ligature procures permanent sterility.--No other results immediate or
remote.--Some instances due to disease.--Defective women and the wives of
defective men would welcome protection from unhealthy offspring.
CHAPTER XII.--SUGGESTIONS AS TO APPLICATION p. 118
The State's humanitarian zeal protects the lives and fosters the fertility
of the degenerate.--A confirmed or hereditary criminal defined.--Law on
the subject of sterilization could at first be permissive.--It should
apply, to begin with, to criminals and the insane.--Marriage certificates
of health should be required.--Women's readiness to submit to surgical
treatment for minor as well as major pelvic diseases.--Surgically induced
sterility of healthy women a greater crime than abortion.--This danger not
remote.
