Involuntary Sterilization

This came into my head while watching an old episode of Law and Order. I googled the topic for a few countries and found that state/country sanctioned involuntary sterilization appears to be universal for cases of mental disease/defect. (don't hold me to this definition, it tends to vary).
Then I found some other disturbing motivations for sterilization. Population, economic, ethnic, sexual orientation, disease, ..............control. Even some of the voluntary sterilization programs seemed, well, for lack of a better word, wrong.
Other than the mental disease/defect motive, can any of you think of a motivation that you would endorse? Hell, maybe you don't agree with the mental issue(s) either.
I think that I'd be OK with involuntary for some specific inheritable genetic disorders.
Edit: Hate to post and crash, but I'm out for the night.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
