US Charity aims to neuter UK junkies

As long as it is voluntary, surely it is their choice?

After all, our social security system bribes people for behaviour that is counter productive already...

Well no it is very immoral, taking advange etc.

No different than if i go around convincing seriously depressed people to kill themselves.

That said, i like ideas that are immoral purely because they are, so +1 :)
 
Waving £200 in front of a drug addict and when they bite claiming it was their choice? You could probably get them to saw off their own foot for little more.

Considering we have a social 'protection' system that currently rewards people for breeding offspring they can't/won't care for and can't/won't afford, the moral hazard argument already exists in this one...
 
Great idea

In my working capacity we deal with a lot of kids from backgrounds of parental drug abuse the cost to state for the care and upbringing of these kids is astronomical caters going in themorning to make sure kids are up and dressed for school as the parents are incapable taxis and social workers to take said kids to school as again parents aren't fit to

Hate to say it but the best thing the government could do is give addict heroin on prescription and lace it with birth control additives would certainly save a fortune in the long term crime would drop dramatically as would care costs for children who if their lucky end up in care if their not follow in the parents footsteps
 
lolhausen as usual

It's a pretty blunt solution. Because a person gets involved in drugs at one stage in their life they should dispense with their ability to pass on their genes - our prime reason to exist. Bribe them when they are most vulnerable, providing them money to deepen their issues. Make sure you do nothing to actually help them.
 
controversial but the idea does have some good points and i guess is meant for the extreme of cases.

stopping drug addicted babies being born, who would turn out to be drug addicts themselves
 
A boost to natural selection - I like it!

I was going to say an injection in the arm but I thought better of it.
 
I don't see a problem with this.

There are too many humans on this earth and this will help keep the number down and make sure that idiots don't breed.
 
I also thought they sterilised drug addicts due to drug addicted babies being born. In these circumstances I agree with the idea.

It's certainly a black and white outlook on things though which I don't like so much.
 
It does provoke a lot of emotion and thought but sterilisation isn't something I can agree with.

That said, there are a lot of people I have dealt with in a work capacity that should never have children.
