Note CD — Chapter XX · RULES OF EUGENICS
Reading edition
As long as there is a supply of prostitutes there will always be a demand for the services of these unfortunates. The notion that it is the demand which creates the supply has been spread by superficial observers. It was not the demand for the telephone that led to its invention, or the demand for railroads that led to invention of the steam engine. As long as we allow mental defectives to propagate their kind, there will always be degenerate women who will prostitute themselves, and by this very act create a demand.
