Man with learning difficulties could be forcibly sterilised in UK first

A man with learning difficulties could become the first in the country to have a vasectomy on the orders of a judge in a case lawyers insist is "not covered by a shadow of eugenics".

The 36-year-old, identified only as DE, has a young son with his girlfriend, who also has learning difficulties, but does not want more children and does not have the mental capacity to use contraception.

The Court of Protection heard it was "inevitable" that if they had another baby it would be taken into care, causing significant psychological distress.

Hard cases make bad law.

This is a test case. The planners have other ends in mind (i.e., setting themselves up as the judges in who gets to procreate...)

Was there anything wrong with eugenics in theory?
