REPORT OF THE SECRETARY TO The Eugenics Board Of North Carolina Sterilization operations performed in North Carolina under authorization of the Eugenics Board during the biennial period ended June 30, 1940 totaled 304. The Board authorized operations in 345 cases of 352 petitions presented for consideration during this period. In the 23 cases where written consent of the parent, guardian, or next of kin could not be secured, the parties concerned were given 15 days’ notice of an opportunity to be heard by the Board. Persons appeared for hearings in only three cases. One case was postponed indefinitely; the second case was postponed indefinitely but later the operation was authorized when the case was presented as a consent case, the father of the patient giving his written consent; and action on the third case, which was considered at the last meeting of the biennial period, was continued until the July meeting. The following table shows the number and type of operations performed under orders of the Eugenics Board during the past two years: Total Number of Sterilization Operations—By Type of Operation and Origin of Petition—July 1, 1938 Through June 30, 1940 Vasectomy Castration Salpingectomy Ovariectomy Total State Institution____________ ____ 63 2 109 1 175 Countv Institution___________ ____ 15 __ 15 Non-Institution_________________ 15 3 96 --- 114 Total_____________________ 78 5 220 1 304 The North Carolina sterilization law provides for the sterilization of mentally diseased, epileptic and feeble-minded persons, when it is believed that such an operation would be for the best interests of the individual concerned, or for the public good or when it is believed that the individual would be likely, unless such operation is performed, “to procreate a child or children who would have a tendency to serious physical, mental, or nervous disease or deficiency.”
