I'll agree for the most part but can think of two examples off the top of my head where the government (US) is involved, incest/marriage and forced sterilization of the mentally handicapped.

Incest is a good caveat, good catch. Along those lines too is child-welfare removals. Forced sterilization for any reason makes me queasy, though. I see why it could be supported, and confess that my response is more emotional than rational.
