Had she lived a bit longer, growing to be an adult, perhaps she would've stood as a monument to the abuses of science that were represented by the eugenics movement. A lost monument. Vivian died at the age of eight; had she lived longer, that life might have stood as a monument to the abuses of eugenics in the United States. Lombardo discusses evidence that clearly shows Carrie was not immoral, and Vivian was not an imbecile.
