I must admit I was surprised as I have never heard of any laws that would permit forced sterilization. I have also heard of no one, no one at all complaining. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/disabled.html 'Only the Roman Catholic Church, for doctrinal reasons, opposed the sterilization program consistently; most German Protestant churches accepted and often cooperated with the policy. Popular films such as Das Erbe ("Inheritance") helped build public support for government policies by stigmatizing the mentally ill and the handicapped and highlighting the costs of care. School mathematics books posed such questions as: "The construction of a lunatic asylum costs 6 million marks. How many houses at 15,000 marks each could have been built for that amount?"'
