" Why create food for the mean and the useless and the sick. 

Why should we work to preserve slum people of the world? 

Isn't it simpler and wiser to get rid of them instead? 

Unfortunately there are so called humanitarian scientist and 

I am one of them, who tried to keep human trash alive. It 

will be necessary to get rid of those humanitarians first."

Screen writer

Thelma Moss, Ph.D. (January 6, 1918 — February 1, 1997) was an American psychologist and parapsychologist, best known for her work on Kirlian photography and the human aura.

Born Thelma Schnee, a native of Connecticut, she graduated from Carnegie Tech, and originally pursued a career in acting and in writing scripts for film and television. She was one of the earliest members of The Actors Studio; as a scriptwriter, her biggest success was the screenplay for the 1954 Alec Guinness film Father Brown.

However, she struggled for years with persistent psychological problems, rooted in depression and grief at the loss of her husband (he died of cancer two days after she gave birth to a baby daughter). She survived two suicide attempts. For treatment for her problems, she underwent a course of LSD psychotherapy; she later published an autobiographical account of her treatment, My Self and I, under the pseudonym Constance A. Newland; the book was a bestseller in 1962.
