paying drug addicts to get sterilized? (money, government, state, support)

[stellastar2345]

Should the government support such a plan?

No. Government sterilization of anyone is an abomination. How are we to know who will be successfully rehabilitated and who won't?

No and only a Moron would believe it is a good idea.

Drug addicts are not rapists, what good would sterilization do?

To answer your question, no.

This country might be in the grips of progressive liberals but not even those people would go for a concept as you stated...

well if you would take money to get the sterilization are you ready to be a parent? Will you really be a good parent?

this isn't forced or anything. everything is voluntary.

Maybe the government should pay alcoholics to get sterilized.
They make really crappy parents.

And welfare recipients should be sterilized as well.

In the case of rapists, physical (as opposed to chemical) castration is called for. Preferably with a dull butter knife.

If it's voluntary, why is the government involved? Are you saying the government will send letters to drug addicts saying they'll give them money to get sterilized?

And either way, no, the government should not do that. If the government is going to give money to drug addicts, it should be going to proper rehabilitation.
