A British professor’s call to sterilize by force members of society who would be “inadequate parents” prompted criticism from the interim head of Human Life International (HLI), who warned that the view is more mainstream among academics and derives from a society where life is controlled “at our whim.”
Prof. David Marsland told the BBC that “permanent sterilization” is the solution to child neglect or abuse, LifeSiteNews reports.
Attributing abuse and neglect to “a very small minority of inadequate parents,” he said these parents have “a number of moral and mental inadequacies” caused by “serious mental defect,” chronic mental illness, drug addiction and alcoholism.
“Short of lifetime incarceration,” he said, the solution is “permanent sterilization.”
