So.....which do you think Trouble ( do you mind if I call you Trouble?) Whose decision do you think it should be? your last post left me unsure as to what you meant *smiles* thats why I sought clarification. I am talking about a non disabled prospective parent, with a high probability that their future child would be born severely disabled ( such as downsyndrome) In such a case does society have the right to enforce sterilisation?

I've been called trouble for quite a while now. Adding your name to the list is no biggie.

Now, parents who knowingly jeopardize their progeny by willingly taking the risk should not be able to suck off of the gov't teat for an infintie amount of time or money. They knew the possible outcome and should not be able to flout that fact.

The sterilization in the context of this question, your quoted post, is that if the child is profoundly retard, Down's, etc, that person would be sterilized, not necessarily the parents.
