I can be very pessimistic at times--haven't yet finished the book,
     but have tested this idea out on couple of personal postings--
     If I have my figures right--when I was born, 26 states had
     sterilization laws for the feebleminded--in fact, I understand
     that some ideas incorporated into the Nazi beliefs in medicali-
     zing what led to genocide came from us--in those days--breeding
     and killing seemed to be the means of attaining a race devoid
     of non-normals (as defined by the government). Today, we have
     a more efficient means of fulfilling any dreams of obtaining
     a normal society of human beings---devoid of the handicapped--
     sexually abnormal--etc--namely, that great boon to mankind--
     gene-splicing--and the ability thru amniocentesis(SP?) to
     detect abnormal genes--I am surprised that the Helms' and
     Dannemayers' of this world haven't latched onto that as a
     means of "clearing our blood of taints".   Merle
