Dr. Sayer : [regarding a program of mass vasectomies to control population] Are you personally for or against sterilization?
Maria : I'm all for it. A man who already has 2 or 3 children should fit very well in a sterilization program Why should the woman always have to be the one to take precautions, pills, etc.?
Dr. Sayer : The pill has no lasting effect, whereas sterilization means permanent incapacity. It's barbarous, monstrous! I agree, of course, that the great increase in population must be kept in check, but only by means that will do no harm to the potency of the male... It is essential that the fertility of the men should remain intact! Do you understand?
