"Shockley, who died in 1989, was highly intelligent, brilliant really. But intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom, and brilliance does not equate with goodness. Rather than seek to sterilize, prevent the birth of, or eliminate persons who seem subnormal in some way, perhaps we are called to help them make the most of their capabilities. People with Down syndrome, for example, have run ironman triathlons, performed at Carnegie Hall, and starred in weekly television series. Instead of trying to sort human beings into categories of acceptable and unacceptable, we should respect the innate worth of each human being."

"Mr. SHURKIN: His wife was the reason why this book got written, actually. She wanted it done very, very badly. She turned over all of the family archives to me. And I actually moved into her house.

FLATOW: Wow. Because she wanted to do what?

Mr. SHURKIN: She was his last defender. She was his lover. She was his friend. She was his colleague. She was his soldier, his secretary, and his doormat, for all practical purposes.

She wanted desperately to have a book written - a biography written of him. I could not possibly have done this without her. I owe her a great deal. And she did literally let me move into the house; I moved into his office.

FLATOW: But you did - but the book you came up with I'm sure is not the kind of book she thought was going to happen.

Mr. SHURKIN: I'm waiting for the telephone call."
