Note 178-4 — Chapter III
John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation
"Every one has a right to live. We will suppose this granted. But no one has a right to bring creatures into life to be supported by other people. Whoever means to stand upon the first of these rights must renounce all pretension to the last.... Posterity will one day ask with astonishment what sort of people it could be among whom such preachers could find proselytes." (J. S. Mill, Principles, II, ch. 12.)
