Sterilization of unfit proposed in New Zealand report
A parliamentary commission in Wellington proposes sterilization for the unfit as part of a plan to curb feeble mindedness and epilepsy. A eugenic board would supervise the feeble minded and epileptics, maintain a mental register, and may require sterilization for release. Consent from guardians would be required and marriage by registered individuals would be illegal. A second proposal would allow indeterminate sentences for sexual offenses. The measures await Parliamentary debate this summer.

The program would require about 20 million dollars in annual wages and employ around 75 000 workers, with dockyards craving work and advocates arguing shipbuilding is better than unemployment relief.
