social effects of afflicted subpopulations is of
necessity… When these inferior elements are
not effectively eliminated from a [healthy]
population, then - just as when the cells of a
malignant tumor are allowed to proliferate
throughout the human body - they destroy the
host body as well as themselves. 86
