Television Debates – Sterilisation

I was just watching a TV debate on BBC1 about sterilising drug addicts so they cannot have children in the future – the idea is to stop them from bringing a child into the world and suffer because the parents would take drugs. My personal thoughts about this is that the whole idea is just disgusting. They are suggesting a solution that is so “finite” to a problem. Drug addicts are human beings and deserve the right to still make decisions for themselves. In the future a drug addict might have cleaned up there act and then decide to have a family, but if they bring stupid plans or ideas about sterilising them then that will stop them completely regardless of whether they take drugs or have cleaned up there act. This whole thing just reminds me of things that happened in Nazi Germany in the early to mid 30’s under Adolf Hitler. They are basically suggesting they pay people who are drug addicts to have this operation done. So not only are they offering money to people desperate for money, they are removing there potential future plans for having children. This whole thing to me just seems so wrong.
