What an awful story. Tricked or forced sterilization for its citizens. Sounds like a horror movie.

Goodlucktoyou: the law was but how long it was in practice is another question left unanswered in the article.

I had Japanese colleagues that are deaf, born in the 70s and have kids.

My father and all his siblings were hearing impaired. All wore a hearing aid. Yet NONE of their offspring have hearing impairments- all of my siblings and cousins have great hearing. This is beyond cruel. This is downright evil.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what will happen.
