Summary
Buck v. Bell, a 1927 case, allowed forced sterilization, but its principles are outdated. The ADA and modern laws protect against such actions, making them nearly impossible to justify legally. Forced sterilization is rare and heavily scrutinized today. The ADA includes provisions for employment, public services, accommodations, telecommunications, and miscellaneous protections. Buck v. Bell targeted individuals with disabilities, not normal individuals. If you have specific concerns, consider consulting a legal professional for advice.Full Conversation
