Ah yes, the answer to any social problem: eugenics

[–] Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I mean... some drugs (the medicine kind) are prescribed with birth control because they're bad for babies. Is meth not bad for the baby?

Also, if I may, what exactly is the criteria for something to be eugenics? I am not well informed; would, for example, not allowing people who wear black socks to have kids be eugenics?

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Rendering people infertile (even temporarily) without their informed consent is unethical. Doing it to a class of people due to your perception that people like them shouldn’t breed is eugenics. This would qualify. The black socks thing probably would too, but it sounds ridiculous because that’s a class of people nobody would realistically target for elimination from the breeding pool.

Offering free birth control to drug users- fine! Dosing them without their consent- no bueno.

Pretty sure that as of recent years, meth is often mixed with fentanyl without being disclosed to a user or probably even a dealer.

But it also funny to see how people say that this should be done yet they somehow forget that (allegedly) it is not government that sells drugs but drug cartels that do. I bet they wouldn't mix birth control into drugs at all. Why would they? That in best case for them does nothing for a higher price of production, and in worst case it will deter customers. Shit's never going to happen.

What about just telling them that the meth is laced with birth control now?

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago

Seems more dangerous and less feasible than just offering free birth control. Handing out meth to addicts is a bad idea, even if it’s laced with something beneficial. Most women take b.c. willingly, no need to mix them together to coerce them.
