lonelyarmywife,

Tough question! While I am a firm believer that there is an exception to every rule, and that Andrea Yates is as good a candidate as I can think of for forced sterilization, eugenics is a dangerous, slippery slope.

Forced sterilization is about as absolute as the death penalty. I’d think long and hard before authorizing the State to do that to its citizens.
