Thread Name: BS: A snip at £200? (sterilizing addicts)
Subject: RE: BS: A snip at £200? (sterilizing addicts)
I am a recovering addict and have been so for the last twenty years. As such, I take it that skipy thinks that I should not have lived for so long, but I make no apologies.
There seems to be a bias to this thread. Ruth states that "Long-term birth control is just that. It takes place in cycles from 3 months to 5 years, and can be stopped any time a woman wants to (admittedly, long-term use of the contraceptive injection can mean the return of fertility is delayed for up to a year, but it is still not permanent nor irreversible)." The fact is that in the UK the only person to take up the offer from this "charity" is a man - John from Leicester. In his case the return of fertility IS not an option.
This is an example of a person who is vulnerable being taken advantage of. There is no difference between this and people being forced into selling organs for cash.
