Sterilization Laws
Discussed in Forum
By Demosthenians
Preliminary Held to Furnish
Material for Written De
bate In Georgia Arch
Demosthenian held an open fo
rum discussing the advisability of
passing sterilization legislation at its
meeting Wednesday night in Demos
thenian Hall. Purpose of the forum
was to furnish material for a writ
ten debate with Phi Kappa in the
Georgia Arch, in which Demosthen
ian will take the affirmative.
George Haslan, Milledgeville, and
Elmon Vickers, Norman Park, led
the discussion for the affirmative,
while Carlisle Taylor, Atlanta, led
those opposing tfte proposed law.
System of Selection
Haslam pointed out that the pur
pose of the law is entirely protective
in its nature, and stated that 27
states now have some sort of ster
ilization law. The only trouble with
the laws is lack of enforcement, he
said.
Vickers stated that sterilization is
nothing but a system of selection.
He declared that while continued ex
istence was once a case of "survival
of the fittest” advances in medical
knowledge have given the weakest
a chance to survive, and that some
thing must be done if the average
type of man is to improve rather
than degenerate.
Dangerous Policy
Taylor argued that there was no
way in which such a law could be ad
ministered fairly and impartially.
He said giving a board power to
administer such a law would give it
a wider power than any group should
have, that of life or death for future
generations. Taylor attacked the
effectiveness of the measure, saying
that sterilization of all moral de
linquents and criminals would elim
inate only 11 per cent of the total,
since such abnormality can be de
tected in only that percentage of
cases.
During the business meeting
President Kirbo announced that try
outs for the sophomore declamation
will be held next Wednesday night
at 9 o’clock in Demosthenian Hall.
