Abstract
To the Editor:— This is a letter of protest about your printing inThe Journal( 177 :907 [Sept. 30] 1961) an endorsed entitled Non-Hereditary Protective Reactions. The portion of the article with which I disagree most violently, both as to its context and also to its impressions on the reader if quoted in the newspapers, as so much ofThe Journalis, reads as follows: In a not too-distant past children were expendable. Many more were produced than were needed to keep the species going, a situation which still prevails in most of the world. As a result of effective birth control and of changed ethics, however, it is now desired that all children survive. The intent of the author, I hope, was not what I have interpreted this to mean. The possible impressions which might be derived from this quotation are, however, legion. I will not burden you
