What was his wife's name? That's right...Margaret.
Weird.
Love how you site a source yet selectively omit information that discredit's your posistion.
I mentioned the fact that one is British and one is American and I posted a link this his wikipedia page. Searching for "Margaret Sanger" on that page brought up zero results. You do find out about his wife if you search for "Margaret" only. The activist lived and died in America, didn't she? According to wikipedia, Sanger was her first husband's name and both her parents were born in Ireland, so I don't even think she is related to the British guy. Also according to Wikipedia, she did spend some time in Britain in 1914, but the biochemist wasn't born yet. I see no connection between the British Nobel Prize Winner and the American birth control activist. You have the wrong Margaret Sanger.
That's because the Margaret mentioned on the chemist's page is refered to by her maiden name.
Either way, the Margaret mentioned in the original link was a nasty piece of work (as anyone who is a eugenicist typically is), thus her activities are worth looking at.

Yes, I see that now. But obviously, they are two different Margaret Sangers. Do you now concede the British chemist's wife was not the American activist?
You may want to look into the activist, but will you admit she has nothing to do with the Sanger Institute like you claimed?

What????
What's the reason you believe that?
This is incorrect. The Sanger Institute is named for a British biochemist, Frederick Sanger, not the American Margaret Sanger.

The context of the original article was about the Sangar Institute going bad. Comparisons to THAT Margaret and her stance on eugenics were being made.
The original point in posting the article was connections between Wellcome Trust and Sangar Institute.

You clearly imply that Wellcome Trust has ties to the activist Margaret Sanger and that is false. You imply the Institute is connected to her.
And this context is not in what you posted? Did you mean Wellcome Trust here?
