[quote:Anonymous Coward 1431344:MV8xNzUxNDQ5XzI5MDMzNjUxXzE1OUI1OTM5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 8655430:MV8xNzUxNDQ5XzI5MDMzNDgwX0Q0QjZDMzhD] Why have they been steralized? They were considered to be inferior humans. Because someone could get-away with it. People were "targeted" for genocide, and hunted by civil-servants. Social-workers and health-care workers had financial and professional incentives to obtain consent, but the "consent" was coerced, and not informed. (unlike today where people believe that they are voluntarily "deciding" not to pro-create, but really they are brainwashed, I mean educated). Where they dragged out of the house and threatened at gunpoint? They were unconscious after giving-birth in many cases. They were NOT INFORMED of what was done. I mean, how can one force someone to go to the hospital to undergo treatment? Blackmail? Yes. Threatened by social-workers that their family's would be punished in some way, or their children would be taken. [/quote] [/quote]

People sterilized against their will under a discredited North Carolina state programme should each be paid $50,000, a task force voted today.
This would mark the first time a state has moved to compensate victims of a once-common public health practice called eugenics.
The panel recommended that the money go to verified, living victims, including those who are alive now but may die before the lawmakers approve any compensation.
