Given the torture suffered by children born to addicts?
What if the drug addict has no children and doesn't plan to? Should they be sterilised just in case?
Drinkers, smokers, overeaters, people not cut out for parenting, the disabled, skint folks, people with genetic diseases - all might possibly pose a risk to kids safety in various ways, inadvertently or otherwise.
Mental idea - Pyongyangesque.
Only if they sterilise the women in Africa as well and prevent the born to die cycle.
Whit?!?!?Quote:

Has there ever been a case of a baby being born and suffering withdrawal frm either cigarettes or alcohol? I only ask because I know there have been plenty born suffering the withdrawal of drugs. Genuine question by the way, I agree that all can be damaging during pregnancy.Quote:

Okay thanks.
Mothers do not share blood with the baby and IIRC babies don't breath air.Quote:

Your post made me laugh. I immediately got a vision of the baby coming out and saying to the midwife "'Ave you gotta light?"
Haha I was thinking that too as I typed it. :-)Quote:

Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is a known thing. There was a debate recently about whether it should be made illegal for pregnant women to drink during pregnancy, I'm not sure how that came about or turned out.Quote:

I don't advocate sterilisation however.
You're right. A friend of mine is one of the foremost researchers in the UK.Quote:

Unbelievably, people who were with him were in total agreement.

Sorry for being slightly off topic.
I hope that never happens, what would happen to our takeaways? ;-)Quote:

If they have already been sterilised what happens in that situation? Is permanent infertility an acceptable punishment for poor lifestyle choices?
I'm thinking tactical nuclear strike.Quote:
