During the state-level hearings that led to this case, one witness testified that a certain Vivian had "a look about her." The respondent in this case was changed following the death of Dr. Priddy, and the appeal rested on the Fourteenth Amendment implications of a passage about "whatever God has given to everyone" in the Munn v. Illinois decision. This case was the first blow against the doctrine of substantive due process, and Justice Pierce Butler was the sole dissenter in this case but declined to write an opinion. This case focused on a woman who was raped by a relative and whose mother was alleged to have had a history of prostitution and immorality. It directly addressed a law promoted by Harry Laughlin, a 1924 Virginia statute mandating sterilization of the mentally retarded, and was partially overturned in the 1942 case of Skinner v. Oklahoma. For 10 points, name this 1927 case in which Oliver Wendell Holmes, in a rare majority opinion, declared that "Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
