Karl Kristian Vilhelm Steincke (1880-1963), a Danish minister of social welfare in the period 1929-1935, especially known because of his book "the future's social welfare", in which he states that "We treat the nonentity with all kind of care and love, but forbid him, in return, only to reproduce himself." His book was the basis of the Danish laws about Eugenia, the sterilization and castration of unwanted elements. Steincke attached importance to his idea, that the nonentities should be made unable reproduce, both for the cause of society and his/her own children.
