A Plea for the Sterilisation of Women as a Means of limiting or preventing the Reproduction of Lower Degenerates [Per la Sterilizzazione della Donna come Mezzo per limitare o impedire la Riproduzione dei Maggiormente Degenerati]. (Bolletino della Soc. Ginecol. di Napoli, 1901.) Zuccarelli

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

In an address to the Gynæcological Society of Naples, the author, who is apparently a thorough-going optimist, urges the desirability of accelerating human progress to perfection by a system of artificial selection involving the sterilisation of the degenerate. He thinks it preferable that women should be the victims of this system, and he exhorts his gynæcological hearers to devise new and safer operations to this end.
