( 1927 ) Commentary by Lisa Paddock, Independent Scholar, Cape May County, New Jersey
  • “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.… Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” - Buck v. Bell
