The extrapolation from drug addicts to the poor would seem to be based on the dubious slippery slope argument.
If there is a sound argument for incentive based, but still voluntary, sterilization program for drug addicts, Why should that argument be dusallowed?
Why should someone be over-compensated for being statistically highly likely to create an a bad pre and post natal environment for his children? One would think he should be compensated by exactly the amount required to convince him not bring a child into the bad pre or post natal environment?
