A trailer just popped up on Radio 4 for a new debating programme. The first topic up is the merits of sterilizing the mentally and morally unfit. Yes that right folks the merits of sterilizing the mentally and morally unfit. This is to be chaired by liberal pseudo-Catholic Edward Stourton. The problem here is not the result of any debate but the fact that such a topic is considered a fit topic for discussion in the first place. This is part of the softening up process for our Eugenic future. Not long ago the Economist published an article speculating that the mapping of the human genome will reveal that some human beings are untermenschen and we need to prepare ourselves. Ricky Gervaise published an article calling for the sterilization of the socially unfit. James Watson a few years ago announced that the population of Africa are genetically of inferior intelligence. The ubiquitous abortionist and vivisectionist of the unborn Lord Robert Winston is a trustee of the Galton Institute (formerly the Eugenic Society) founded by proto-Nazi cousin of Charles Darwin, Francis Galton. The BBC are forever giving him air-time to re-educate us all.

Nazism was not wrong because of dodgy anthropology or because it advocated an incredibly stupid political system it was wrong because it denied the inviolable dignity and essential equality of mankind. It replaced the Decalogue with a breeding programme. This essential error is quite as compatible with the free market, capitalism and democracy as it is with corporatism and dictatorship. This is what we are being prepared for via the Abortion Act, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, the relentless campaign for Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide, the promotion of contraception and promiscuous sex education and the assault on marriage. These forces are very powerful, the defeat of Hitler only set them back about three decades. Unless people wake up very soon, in the absence of robust and orthodox Christianity, the allure of evolutionism will bring about their triumph.

In April 1938 Pius XI issued the following list of errors to be combated in all Catholic educational institutions. We would do well to remember them.
>
1. The human races, by their natural and immutable characters, are so different from each other that, the humblest of them is further from the highest race than of the highest animal species .
2. We must by all means, preserve and cultivate strong race and purity of blood, so that all leads to this result is therefore honest and permitted.
3. It is blood, seat of the characteristics of the race, that all the intellectual and moral qualities of man derive as their main source.
4. The basic purpose of education is to develop the characters of the race and inflame the minds of a burning love of their own race as the supreme good.
5. Religion is subject to the law of race and must be adapted to it.
6. The first source and the supreme rule of law and order is racial instinct.
7. There exists only the Kosmos or living universe ; all things, including humans, are only various forms growing over the ages of universal life.
8. Each man exists only by the State and for the State. All that he rightly possesses derives exclusively from a concession to the State.

Very creepy indeed. The “mentally and morally unfit” were, in fact, sterilized in parts of early 20th century Canada. The “morally unfit” included “bad housewives.”
This is where Chesterton would say that the average Englishman is too sensible to put up with this nonsense.
August 19, 2010 at 11:54 pm
And Chesterton would be wrong now, though maybe not in his lifetime.
The average Englishman will accept anything now, provided some “brain and a half” has endorsed it on television,.
This sort of stuff has, as you say in your article, a long history, even in Britain. I think it was Marie Stopes who referred to the sexual act as the “act of race”.

I hope that most people are as unnerved by this as we are. My nation also went wild with the sterilizing, often without even telling the people affected. Thank you for posting the Pope’s heartbreaking list. So quickly does society move from patting its back for rejecting the sins of its ancestors to embracing them under another name.

You might have heard of the woman who was coerced into contraception.
August 21, 2010 at 4:01 pm
The woman in the article you cite was NOT coerced into contraception. The judge ruled, first, that she was not capable of free choice, either way, and then said it would be unthinkable (or impractical) to arrest her and drag her to the hospital every time she needed a shot.
A very sad case, and it seems to be that she ought not have been allowed to marry, i.e. fall into Mr A’s power, for she already had dimished responsibility in the first place. Meanwhile, abuse diminishes freedom and therefore responsibility. Even highly intelligent women find themselves unable to take themselves out of harm’s way, when the abuser is their husband or “partner”. And it is horrifying to think that this woman may be being raped again and again, which is why contraception is at all an issue. In this case, the procreative aspect of marriage is being, in a warped way, “respected”, but I cannot imagine that these people are having “unitive” sexual relations.
One wonders where this woman’s family is.

I’m sure Cirdan is worried about the precedent rather than outraged on behalf of the husband.

“A very sad case, and it seems to be that she ought not have been allowed to marry, i.e. fall into Mr A’s power, for she already had dimished responsibility in the first place.”
Mr A has a learning disability himself. Anyone with an overall IQ of under 70 is considered to have an LD, and Mr A’s is 65. His wife’s is not that much lower. In practical terms, those numbers don’t mean very much – IQ is a very arbitrary measure of assessing capability. At the special needs college where I work, there are some students who are capable of going out to work and living in their own homes, and others who require 24-hour care. You would never be able to tell which students belong to which group by looking at their IQ test results.
In this case, Mr and Mrs A live independently. They evidently take care of themselves fine. Is it really so difficult to believe that they could take care of a child? Roughly 75% of parents with learning disabilities have their children taken away from them as a first resort, not as a last. he prejudice against them is that deep. And capacity assessments often tell you more about the views of the assessor than the abilities of the person being assessed – I’ve seen this demonstrated in the lives of two close friends, both of them very capable and intelligent women. It was frightening to witness.

NO KIDDING! My dad used to work with the elderly, who had various social workers trying to take away their rights as they grew frailer and less independent. I know social workers can do fabulous work and that their job is incredibly tough, so I don’t want to rag on them, but they wield a lot of power over people who are powerless.
When I think of the drug addicts who are raising children (between their bouts in jail), I think to myself that being high or addicted wrecks your brain worse than being born stupid. If people can live by themselves, work a job, and pay their bills, etc, they should at least have a chance to raise their kids. Sending over a social worker frequently to check on both them and the children should be the first step in a very long chain, the very very last being the loss of custody.

@ Seraphic Spouse The article I read about Mrs A included comments from her mother. The mother denied that her husband was abusing her, and said that Mrs A was terrified of being forced to leave her husband. So she’s not being abused.
