		Carrie Buck became the representative of all that was wrong in society and the eugenicists were determined to win the trial for her sterilization.
		In the case of Carrie Buck, I strongly believe that it was completely unfair to judge a girl based on past experinces such as her rape, and labeling it as her own fault, basically incriminating her instead of her rapist by labeling her "feeble-minded".

		In that case, the state of Virginia sought to sterilize Carrie Buck, because so-called "experts" testified that she, her mother, and her illegitimate daughter were all "imbeciles."

		Gould, clearly no fan of eugenic sterilization, had done some homework and discovered that Carrie Buck had been sterilized based on the flimsiest of "evidence."

		In the end, it was not Carrie Buck or her sister Doris, or the repressed people of Timor, but something my own experience that was gripping me: the experience of having the American system of law and justice fail completely.
