QUOTE: Teddy Roosevelt - sterilization

“I wish very much that the wrong people could be prevented entirely from breeding; and when the evil nature of these people is sufficiently flagrant, this should be done. Criminals should be sterilized and feebleminded persons forbidden to leave offspring behind them…The emphasis should be laid on getting desirable people to breed…”
- Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) *speaking to Charles B. Davenport - 1/3/13*
