If we support "cash for clunkers" why not support "pay people to be sterilized?" I don't mean "pay poor people and criminals" -- I mean, open up the program to any person who volunteers.
- mc32 9y agoI don't see an issue if it's available to one and all adults for free with no strings attached.
- dogruck 9y agoWhat about the hypothetical scenario where the procedure is free, and the volunteer also receives, say, $2,000?
- mc32 9y agoIf everyone is offered the $2,000, for the reversible kind, I'm okay with it. I know for some people 2,000 is something, for some people it's nothing. But if it's reversible I don't see the harm.
- dogruck 9y agoOn the whole, I'm with you -- even if the procedure is not reversible. I do have sympathy for the view that paying people to be sterilized preys upon the weak. Many people can think of things that they would have done for $2,000 at one point, but not at another point.
