Summary

Mark Sutherland discusses the historical context and ongoing relevance of eugenics and population control, as explored in his book “Exterminating Poverty”. Sutherland details his grandfather, Dr. Halliday Sutherland’s, true motivations for opposing “Britain’s Margaret Sanger” Marie Stopes, arguing that it was not due to his Catholicism but his stand against Stopes’ eugenics and Neo-Malthusianism. The conversation also explores how eugenics has been rebranded and persists today.
