*T'HE public is tired of Madalynne Obenchain, her ravings, her posings, her eroticisms; a Weary figure of tragedy, born with the fate upon her of enmeshing worth-while people in her snare. There is little illusion left abroad concerning this Los Angeles woman, regardless of her guilt or innocence in the case of Kennedy! But there is enough illusion left among the most blase of men to cause them to utterly de- ise the latest bit of scum that floats to the top the dirty stream in the Kennedy murder (Copyright, Is it morally wrong to buy and sell human glands?

MATTHEWS, former moderator, general ly, Presbyterian church, and pastor First Presbyterian church, attle, Wash.: “No man has a legal, and certainly not a moral, right to sell his body or any part of it. Whether there are statutes hibiting such saie or not, it is wrong from every funda- " principle of law. No one would attempt to sell his body or any part of it unless he had fallen lower than the beasts of the field and were viler than the vile. No would attempt to buy a human body or any part of it unless he were devoid of all moral and legal respecta- lity. Both are contemptible, vulgar, disgusting and un- hy of the respect of all virtue-loving people. The Whole suggestion is immoral, illegal, repulsive and of- Yfensive.” m DR. THOMAS W. EDGAR, physician and surgeon, pioneer in study of glands, who performed the operation in the famous Irving Bacon glandular case: “Gland transplantation is no longer an experiment, but @reality. It is not at all immoral. It is within the law to sell one creative gland, but of course only the rich can Teap the benefits of such barter. It would be better if Jaws were passed, as I have been advocating for two years, providing for a central hospital where the glands, and also the bones and tissues, of healthy young persons killed in accidents might be refrigerated and used for transplantation for the benefit of the human race.” MRS. MARY WADE DENNETT, president of the Voluntary Parent- hood league: “Regarding the Buying and selling of human glands, I can speak only from the humanist point of view. The mestion of gland transplantation is so new that final wis- ies is impossible. Scientists still are experimenting, but from present knowledge my instinct is morally against allowing the sale of a vital part of the human body. It is different with blood transfusions because the body con- stantly makes new blood and the damage is not irrepar- able. But when a gland is removed surgically, nature does not make new glands; we should be guided by that basic principle. So I believe laws should be made to pro- tect unwise and rash persons even if they are willing to sell their vital glands.” PROFESSOR HERBERT VINCENT NEAL, biologist and professor of wology, Tufts college, Boston: “Gland transplantation is a subject that should be left in the hands of reputable physicians. However, I see nothing unethical or objectionable in buying and selling human glands. Circumstances are different in individual cases. As I understand it, the experiment has been un- successful under certain conditions; these conditions should govern all such transplantations.” ANDRE TRIDON, noted psycho-analyst and author: “Why should gland transplantation be considered wrong? Buying and selling human glands is not morally wrong if it helps somebody, tho I believe greater benefits might be gained for the human race by making it legally possible to refrigerate healthy glands of persons meeting Violent deaths and making them available for transplanta- tion. It should be remembered that such a gland is bene- ficial not only in a creative way, but means the regenera- tion of the whole body and of the intellect.” The Seattle Sta out of ctty, Hee per month) § montha $1.60; ¢ montha $2.
