My other suggestion is in an attempt to solve the problem of irresponsible
people and especially those who are poorly endowed genetically having large
numbers of unnecessary children. Because of their irresponsibility, it seems to
me that for them, sterilization is the only answer and I would do this by
bribery. It would probably pay society to offer such individuals something like
l,000 [British pounds] down and a pension of 5 [British pounds} a week over the
age of 60. As you probably know, the bribe in India is a transistor radio and
apparently there are plenty of takers. Finally, let me say that although I agree
with you that these are basically long term problems, I also agree that they
will be upon us sooner than we realize and as soon as intelligent discussion is
started on them the better.
