... but what of people like Mary Mallon?

We have many asymptomatic carriers of transmittable diseases now.

Also, I'm afraid these types of facilities are often abused. I'm pretty sure a maternal great grandmother of mine was committed to a tuberculosis sanitarium by her children after her husband died, just because she was difficult to live with. I know of other cases here in the eugenics homeland where parents have sterilized their daughters with very slim medical cause.
