but do we want people with mental disabilities having children? Passing birth defects on to future children, causing problems for them? I'm not saying that this was the answer, or that this was the case for Mills, but in general I would think it's a good idea for some to not have children. Furthermore, I do NOT think they should be compensated. Why should my tax dollars pay for reparations...this sets a bad precedent. Now anytime the state does something that others disagree with down the road...tax dollars will be used to "make amends."
