progressive development.

The greater the proportion and the fertility of the defective, the less
hope for the future. If the fertility of the unfit be reduced to a
minimum, not only will many dreadful hereditary diseases be eradicated,
but the fertility of the fit will receive a powerful stimulus, because
of the great diminution there will necessarily be in the burdens they
will have to bear.

The advantages of sterility to the unfit themselves will, on the whole,
be incalculable. They are self-evident, and need not be dwelt on here.

The whole sum of human happiness would in this way be most assuredly
increased, and the aim and object of all social reform be to some extent
at least, realized.
