I really want you to learn something so here goes:
1. Who gets to choose the less desirable (target) population?
2. Why do the people in #1 get to choose the less desirable (target) population? That already reeks of classism, racism, ethnocentrism, xenophobia, conservatism, religious idealism, sexism, and heterosexism.
3. Paying "less desirable" people a relatively miniscule amount does not make paid sterilization substantively different than compulsory sterilization and Nazi eugenics.
4. Perhaps ninety percent to ninety-five percent of "less desirable" people will not accept money to be sterilized. Either they think it is a dumb or offensive idea; they don't feel like being bothered; they don't have the necessary resources such as time off from work/transportation/outpatient care; or don't trust doctors/government/researchers. So, the "paid sterilization program" is a complete failure. Then what? I can tell you what. It becomes less about paying informed consumers and more about excessive encouragement, coercion, lack of information, and force. History repeats itself. DUH. You were warned.
