‘who must be a small group of men called
upon by a smaller group of doctors. It is
therefore easily conceivable that two
children with the same father may later
mate and procreate. It is even possible that
a father may mate with his own daughter.
… This will lead to an exaggeration of all
characteristics of the genetic line, including
the bad ones, and, in the absence of means
of exterminating the weaklings, must result
in damage to the community.’
[‘Medicus’, Glasgow Herald, 1 March 1958]
