But you can't force it or make it mandatory that they aren't allowed to procreate. I'm pretty sure that's against our freedoms or our bill of rights or constitution some how. But if its made voluntarily, nobody would have a qualm against that. So just give them a little incentive to get sterilized, could be monetary. If the incentive was 15k. You'd save that really quick honestly and they'd be happy. Its a win win. You can't simply force stuff in america but nobody said anything about making it voluntary.


So who decides who 'they' are that qualify to get paid to not have kids? And whose $15k do 'they' get?


Its a fictious number and a simple idea around forced sterilization which was suggested earlier in this post. And let's say they were paid 15 k for voluntary sterilization. We the productive tax paying citizens easily spend more then yearly for the people who refuse to take care of themselves to have illegitimate children who are raised to behave and live just like their leach parents. It would be extremely cost effective to society as a whole monitarily and criminally. It is also a way around the whole slippery slope of it being a forced upon people as it is voluntary. If it was just a simple tube tieing could as be reversed if one proved themself to be a good functioning member of society later on. But the way society is going, its going to destabilize sooner rather then later.


You still haven't said who 'they' are, and how it was determined 'they' came to be 'them'.

How old do 'they' have to be to qualify for trading away their reproductive organs?
Can a minor make that decision?
Minors can, and do reproduce.

Can a parent sell off a kid's reproductive abilities? If so it would provide a good reason for some to have as many kids as possible.

Indeed.
In "STATE OF FEAR", the author writes of the long term, widespread acceptance of the 'science' and practice of eugenics in pre-WWII USA. . right up until the discovery of the Nazi atrocities.
Among the reasons he does so is to point to the current parallels in the acceptance of the 'science' behind the current global warming movement.

Why Politicized Science is Dangerous
(Excerpted from State of Fear, Michael Crighton)
http://www.michaelcrichton.net/essay-stateoffear-whypoliticizedscienceisdangerous.html

Imagine that there is a new scientific theory that warns of an impending crisis, and points to a way out.

This theory quickly draws support from leading scientists, politicians and celebrities around the world. Research is funded by distinguished philanthropies, and carried out at prestigious universities. The crisis is reported frequently in the media. The science is taught in college and high school classrooms.

I don't mean global warming. I'm talking about another theory, which rose to prominence a century ago.

Its supporters included Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Winston Churchill. It was approved by Supreme Court justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis Brandeis, who ruled in its favor. The famous names who supported it included Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone; activist Margaret Sanger; botanist Luther Burbank; Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University; the novelist H. G. Wells; the playwright George Bernard Shaw; and hundreds of others. Nobel Prize winners gave support. Research was backed by the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations. The Cold Springs Harbor Institute was built to carry out this research, but important work was also done at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford and Johns Hopkins. Legislation to address the crisis was passed in states from New York to California.. . .

Aid to families was once seen as a cure for inner-city poverty cultures. The idea was that preventing children from growing up poor, hungry and homeless would break the cycle of crime and dysfunctionalism. That road paved with good intentions...

If you pull a gun on a Cop you generally get shot. There is no way in hell that MAN did not know that. He thought he was able to beat the odds. He was wrong. Nothing to see or report. Move along main-stream-media.
As to forced sterilization, it would seem this idiot solved the problem for us. At least in this instance.
