This is where women in America who can prove drug addiction are paid 300 dollars if they can then prove they have then got long term birth control or have been sterilised.

The founder of Project prevention has just been on This Morning trying to bring this over here from America, wondered what you all thought of this?
I'm not sure, although i agree drug addicts giving birth to sick babies as a result of their addiction is horrible, i don't think offering an addict money to be sterilised is right. What addict is going to turn down 200 quid?? (approx)
but then part of agrees with long term birth control but its just obvious that money is going to be spent on more drugs.......
I dunno i can't decide on this one, part of me thinks its morally wrong to bribe addicts to give up their human rights but on the other hand it works and stops more sick kids being born to mothers who don't/can't care.
What do you think?
