Eugenics - the newest American export
Addicts are being offered up to £200 cash to be sterilised so they do not give birth to drug dependent children. A controversial American charity is now offering the service to addicts in the UK and has set up a helpline for those interested. Pro-life campaigners said the offer was "inhuman". Project Prevention claims to have stopped 3,500 drink and drugs addicts from having more children by paying them to be sterilised. It has now received £13,000 from an anonymous British donor to help launch a similar service in the UK. But the campaigner behind the scheme, Barbara Harris, from North Carolina, shrugged off concerns that the money will just be spent on buying more drugs.
