There have been 1000 sterilization operations In Oregon since the ster ilization law was pasted In 1923, the committee asserting the law should be extended to Include "many unde sirables who have their liberty. Instable Offspring. ! "These people are propagators of offspring who are unstable, many of whom are headed directly toward a state Institution. If the legislature passes our marriage law there would be less need for sterilization." The patient now must give his con . sent before being sterilized. The committee said the present marriage law Is unsatisfactory be cause It requires only physical exam ination of men. the law being "un concerned whether women scatter ve nereal Infection or not. "Our mental defectives, Insane, ep ileptics, chronic criminals, chronic alcoholics and drug addicts are per mitted to enter lnt o wedlock and nrnnaeate children If they so desire." The proposed marriage law would require the marriage applicants to oe examined for venereal diseases, men tal Illness, physical degeneracy, her edity and other things.
