From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Binnie Dunlop (3 August 1874[1] – 15 July 1946) was a Scottish medical doctor and eugenicist.[2]

Dunlop, the son of a Glasgow doctor, studied medicine at the University of Glasgow, graduating M.B. (1898)[1] and Ch.B. However, he never practiced medicine, instead studying social and economic questions.[2]

He joined the Malthusian League – a British organisation which advocated the practice of contraception and the education of the public about the importance of family planning – in 1910, and was probably the author of the league's 1913 pamphlet Hygienic Methods of Birth Control.[3] He held office in the Malthusian League as honorary secretary and treasurer, and was editor of The Malthusian from 1918 to 1921.[2]
