Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist and social critic best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy.
Russell was awarded the Order of Merit in 1949 and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.
“Early in his life Russell supported eugenicist policies.
He proposed in 1894 that the state issue certificates of health to prospective parents and withhold public benefits from those considered unfit.
In 1929 he wrote that people deemed "mentally defective" and "feebleminded" should be sexually sterilized because they "are apt to have enormous numbers of illegitimate children, all, as a rule, wholly useless to the community."
Russell was also an advocate of population control:” Wikipedia
