Default Drug Addicts are paid $300 to become sterilized or have vasectomies

Organization pays out $300 hard cash to prevent drug addicts from having babies.



I think this is stupid. They should use that $300 to try and help the drug addicts get clean instead of giving them vasectomies.

Kinda like the forced sterilization programs run by North Caroline between 1933-1977. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/10/us...pagewanted=all

I would rather see my $300 in tax money go to this than see it go towards forced recovery programs that rarely work. And VASTLY rather see my $300 go towards this than go towards paying tens of thousands of dollars to pay to raise the next generation of a-holes that these people would be raising due to having children that they don't need.



If it was forced I would not agree with it, but as an optional program I'm all for it.

i think that is an AMAZING idea... most drug addicts would relapse, specially with w/e 300$ could do for treatment.



sterilizing them would prevent them from pro-creating at least!!



so many kids get brought into the world completely screwed because their parents are drug addicts or alcoholics.. this would solve the problem of pro-creation by drug addicts!!



granted, there are some sober parents that also are shitty but drug addicts make shitty parents by design.. sterilize them all!! that way when they end up OD'ing or die they end their family tree.
