Do you believe that there are cases where a person should be forcibly sterilised/have a vasectomy performed on them? Discuss please.

hehe, I find thaat amusing, in a good way Smile

anyway...

Despite the fact that I do fel there are people who should be sterelized, I must say that in the end, I could never support something that forcibly invades someone's body, no matter the reason behind it; even if it weren't repoductive in nature.

why this case why not women/men who abuse their children, why not women/men who prostitute their children, the doctors who performed this operation said it was for her benefit and even debated with the ethics commitee, if we start to force people to do things with their bodies we end up in a world I would not like to live in.I am pro life for myself but would not tell anyone else what to do with their body, just like I would not like to be told what to do with my body.
Why is it pro choice who wish to take away choic from who they deem unfit to have that choice, some will claim that what this couple have done is no worse than having an abortion,.[ this is not my opinion ] at least this was to help that child live a better quality of life.

no. I believe that biologic ability does not equate to a necessary condition to procreate but that does not mean that people who I feel are abusing their abilities should be stopped. The right to choose only extends to my own life and body, no one elses.

why this case? You answered it yourself- to help that child, and her parents, live a better quality of life. This is very rare, and quite the exception. I can't think of any other situation that I could ethically accept it.

thank you for answering but please explain how sterilizing the mother or father would give them a better quality of life.Why should the parents be sterilized.?I am not going to assume what you mean , I might be wrong in my opinion but I think it is because the child is disabled.Why not a child abuser/killer.

i think she mean the fact that the disabled daughter was sterilized, not that her parents were. The daughter being sterilized improved her quality of life.

Some furkin pro choicers you lot are you make me sick why shouldn't a disabled woman have the right to give birth why does she not have the right to choose forced sterilisation is as bad as forced abortion or pregnancy I think you have all( just proven with the exception of eiri who stated she doesn't advocate forced sterilisation) that you are pro abort not pro choice.

I'm on the fence about it. On one hand, there's a ton of crappy parents who definitely should have their reproductive rights removed before harming more innocent lives. On the other hand, i'm not exactly supportive of any kind of forced medical procedure. People can have their kids taken from them if they're lousy parents, but it won't stop them from having more kids - sometimes I think the people who pop out kid after kid after kid while fully knowing the kids will be taken are somehow trying to get revenge on the law - as if saying, "you can take the babies, but you can't stop us, so hah hah hah! You can't win!" I know this wasn't necessarily something that got brought up, but i'm using it as an example.

why would sterilizing a child abuser or killer make any difference? Just because someone can't make biological children won't stop them from sexually assaulting children - it's not like their potential children would have been the only children on the planet.

out of interest though, wouldn't removing the testicles of a man reduce his sex drive (like with castrating dogs?). If it does, then it could be argued that paedophiles and rapists should have their nuts removed to help them not reoffend...

because she has the intelligence of a three month old.

Do you think a three month old baby could understand the process of even having sex? No! She can't even properly comprehend her own existance, much less the concept of sexual attraction, sex, pregnancy, and birth.

Talk about babies having babies, that would literally be the case here! I can't believe you'd want a 3 month old baby to have menstrual cramps. This poor girl couldn't understand those, either. She'd only know she was in pain, period, that's it.

There is also no sense to put her or her family through the mess of menstruation every single month, for a girl who has the mind of a three month old baby.

This girl is never going to be a mommy. She will need a mommy for her entire life. She will always be a three month old baby, for her whole life. What is wrong with you, that you'd want this baby to become pregnant!?

Is it wrong to get female dogs spayed? Spaying also prevents them from going into heat, thus eliminating the mess. It also prevents them from getting pregnant, especially if you never intend for your dog to give birth.

if you had both checked out the link, you would see the reasoning behind it.

In a side note, 'they'-meaning the medical community- used to forceably sterilize mentally retarded women, too. And the deaf, blind, epileptic, physically deformed, and certain races. This is an abhorrent practice that I wouldn't support if they paid me a zillion dollars. (unless it was aimed at religious zealots, kids who rip wings off flies, celery farmers, and the .Bush family. I'm kidding, i'm kidding! Joke! Ha ha! Hee hee!)

funny you should say so...From our friends at wikipedia...

Http://en.Wikip edia.Org/wiki/chemical_castration

"chemical castration is a form of temporary castration caused by certain hormonal drugs. It was developed as a temporary preventive measure or punishment, typically for male child sex offenders and rapists.


Depo provera, a progestin; and tamoxifen, a drug previously used in breast cancer, are the drugs most commonly used today for sex offenders. Depo provera acts on the brain to inhibit hormones that stimulate the testicles to produce testosterone; whereas tamoxifen works by blocking the aromatase enzyme. Depo provera also neutralises all testosterone so none can be converted to estrogen by the aromatase enzyme. The herb chrysin also works by blocking the aromatase enzyme. Spironolactone, a diuretic, also is an effective testosterone blocker.


Chemical castration also occurs as a natural consequence of hormone treatment for male-to-female transsexualism. However, unlike the treatment used on sex offenders, the hormones commonly used lead to permanent infertility...


According to jeffrey kirchmeier, at least six states have experimented with chemical castration laws in the united states. Those states are california, florida, georgia, texas, louisiana, and montana. California was the first state to use chemical castration as a punishment for paedophiles. In california, judges may require first-time offenders to undergo chemical castration. After a second offense treatment is mandatory.[1] in iowa and florida chemical castration is available in all cases involving serious sex offenses. As in california treatment is mandatory after a second offense."

*stressor is mine because there have been some comments about geographic egoism.

they are finding out that it doesn't really work. Many offenders continue offending even on treatment because the testosterone and adrenaline they produce override the other chemicals. And, if they can't get it up, many of them can still rape/molest using objects. So, in short, it is not a magic cure-all for rapists and child molesters.

this makes sense. They need their brains castrated.

And then put in prison for an extremely long time. The recidivism rate is so high for these kinds of offenders. Plus, isn't just hurting one kid/person enough to warrant life in prison? Or, "you stay in jail until the person you hurt is done dealing with it". Seems fair.
