I doubt you agree with me on this sterilization topic but below
is a copy of a message on Quinacrine that I posted recently.

Yes, I am in favor of sterilization in some cases and if Quinacrine
is cheaper and safer than surgery for females then that is an option
that should be available. Especially if sterilization is needed on a
large scale in a country that cannot afford, or does not have, the
doctors necessary.

The choice to use Quinacrine should be available and I am ver much
in favor of continued trial use with a rapid expansion.

Forced sterilization procedures may have been abused, or the
policies have been faulty, but there is a need for cheap, long-lasting,
and effective birth control in many countries. Plus it does not seem
that there are widespread or serious problems with Quinacrine when
used properly.

I think we will be disagreeing on many population issues because
I view the problem in much different terms -- namely that we have
excess people now and a population reduction is needed. I know
that discussions such policies are not going to be welcomed even
on a population listserv, much less in social and political circles.
However, that does not mean that population reduction is not
what we really need.
