Neutering Ruth
Would that have been the solution?
Is it really too harsh to prohibit very early the reproduction of individuals much lower in the survival of the fittest chain?
I personally wouldn't disagree.
No.

Sounds way too scary to me; too much like eugenics and Hitler's fascination with Darwin and the idea of getting rid of/stopping reproduction of so-called "undesirables".
I just don't want to live in a world like that.
In the depression-era set Rambling Rose for which Laura Dern got an Oscar nod, at the end of the movie Robert Duvall and a doctor conspire to secretly sterilize her character while she is in the hospital, claiming they consider her too be a nyphomaniac. Diane Ladd's character come to her defense fortunately and Duvall recognizes the insanity of his actions, saying, "It would be bad for any young woman." I agree.
sharethis is a different world. We need more generations to keep the older ones going...but it's time to pare down the world population.
Or...everyone will need to put in and grow their own food, or get used to eating less, consuming less.
