4. That whatever theory as to the causation of cancer is adopted, some 
explanation of the remarkable correlations between cancer, diabetes and insanity 
is required. 
5. The explanation suggested to account for the facts as disclosed by 
statistical analysis is, that conditions of modern life, acting on physiologically 
unsound material, may account for the correlations existing between these three 
diseases, as well as for their increasing rates. 
6. If this suggestion be correct, then the study and teaching of Eugenics 
has an additional purpose. Although no hope for the sick can be derived from 
this source, yet the future of the race will not be so hopeless, when children 
are taught the eugenic law, that marriage with the physiologically unfit is as 
anti-social, as marriage with their social inferiors is at present held to be.
