Court approves forced sterilisation of mum-of-six with learning difficulties
A judge has decided that a mother-of-six who has learning disabilities can be sterilised in a UK case which he says raises “ethical, legal and medical issues” of the “utmost gravity”.
Mr Justice Cobb also ruled that social services staff and medics could force their way into the 36-year-old woman’s home and restrain her if necessary.
