The Fertility of the Unfit, published in 1903 by W. A. Chapple, is a scientific examination of population dynamics and eugenics. The book discusses the rising birth rates among 'unfit' individuals, such as criminals and those deemed defective, contrasted with declining rates among the 'fit.' Chapple explores the moral and societal implications of these trends, advocating for measures to limit the fertility of the unfit. The preface by Rutherford Waddell emphasizes the urgent need for dialogue on this controversial topic.
