| | Compulsory sterilization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Usually such programs advocated sterilization by means of vasectomy in males and salpingectomy or tubal ligation in females, as they were not operations which significantly affected sexual drive or the personality of the individuals operated upon (unlike, for example, castration). | | | California sterilized more than any other state by a wide margin, and was responsible for over a third of all sterilization operations. | | | None have offered to compensate those sterilized, however, citing that few are likely still living (and by definition would have no affected offspring) and that inadequate records remain by which to verify them. |

| | As regards possible motivations by individual doctors to perform sterilisations without a valid, prior, informed consent, it was noted that they may range from real, sensitive concern for their patient's health to paternalistic or even racist attitudes of the individual practitioner. | | | The expert group also concluded that the practitioners' explanations regarding the medical indication of sterilization in certain cases were plausible and could not be dismissed. | | | The issue of sterilizations does not appear to concern exclusively one ethnic group of the Slovak population, nor does the question of their improper performance. |

| | Forced Sterilizations |
| | By the time sterilization reached its zenith of popularity in the Indian Health Service, it was the last official gasp of a century-old "scientific" effort to breed "desirable" human traits. | | | Spriggs, writing in the early 1970s, called involuntary sterilization "an unconstitutional menace to the poor." He also wrote that early eugenicists "espoused the theory that a wide variety of individual maladies and even social ills, such as poverty, were eugenic (incurable) in nature and that the best solution was prevention by sterilization." | | | Even though the cruder abuses of the sterilization wave in the 1970s seem to have abated, "Even today," writes Torpy, "there remains a need for constant and close surveillance over physicians and health facilities and health facilities so that all poor women and women of color are allowed to make their own reproductive choices." |

| | It is clear to me that we need to reach out to communities in the form of health care forums and educationals on such issues as patient rights, patient education, the nature of the health care system, as well as on issues of reproductive freedom. | | | If the women's health movement combines its forces and resources with those of other community health organizations in order to provide innovative health education programs in targeted communities, we can begin to get feedback from people in those communities about the issues that might encourage active struggles around them. | | | With birth rate reduction as the highest priority, the policies assume that the prevailing class structure should not be altered, that only gradual, non-revolutionary political change is to be encouraged, that relations between the sexes should be allowed to shift only gradually and within the existing class structure. |

| | Eugenics, roughly based on the idea of "natural selection", was the belief that society should be "improved" by keeping "unfit or unwanted" people from having children. | | | "Nineteen years after the Legislature abolished Oregon's eugenics law, the power and practice of eugenics continues to fascinate historians, shock advocates and grieve those who were ordered sterilized because it was thought they would pass their disabilities, illnesses or criminal behavior on to their children." | | | In the past 25 years, we've closed the Columbia Park Hospital in The Dalles, Eastern Oregon Hospital in Pendleton, Dammasch in Wilsonville, and Fairview in Salem, meaning that the patients who lived in those institutions now live in the friendlier, more therapeutic environments of our communities." |
