]]> Mark R. Warner http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/col_facpub/81 http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/col_facpub/81 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 12:35:14 PDT In 1899, Dr. Albert Ochsner suggested a different operation to achieve infertility. In a discussion focused on treatments for prostrate problems, Ochsner described how he surgically removed a portion of the cord technically known as the vas deferens, thereby permanently removing a route for the sperm to travel. Ochsner's surgery may have been the first reported vasectomy, but he specifically prescribed it as a means of preventing the procreation of convicted criminals. Since castration ignited "the strongest possible opposition," he recommended that vasectomy be considered not only for criminals but also for "chronic inebriates, imbeciles, perverts, and paupers."

Ochsner http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/col_facpub/80 http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/col_facpub/80 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 12:35:13 PDT Dr. Priddy contacted Sarah Roller just after he engineered the 1916 change in Virginia law that authorized him to provide expanded “moral, medical, and surgical treatment” to Colony patients. He noted that of the 185 patients admitted to the Colony during the previous year, fifty-seven had come from the city of Richmond. Priddy gloated at his success in helping Roller “clear up the rubbish” in Virginia’s capital. Bragging aside, the main purpose of Priddy’s letter was to alert Roller that he was ready to relieve her of the “burden of the Mallory crowd.”

Laughlin declared that following Buck, the operation of eugenical sterilization would no longer be considered "a wild or radical proposition" but would be seen by most Americans as "a reasonable and conservative matter." Laughlin emphasized that the endorsement of state authority to perform compulsory operations without regard for the consent of the patient or his family was an "outstanding feature" of the Buck decision. It constituted an application of the scientific method to statecraft, and employed the "modern sciences" of law and eugenics.
