Would eugenics say she should be sterilized because of being deaf and blind?

That's an interesting point. She was obviously intelligent, and physically healthy; her disabilities were the result of an illness as a toddler (measles? scarlet fever? I forget.) Would one actually want her out of the gene pool, or would one tolerate the disabilities for the sake of healthy genes?

The latter makes more sense.
