Forced sterilisation comes back to haunt US state

Forced sterilisation comes back to haunt US state: More than 60 000 Americans were sterilised, many against their will, as part of a eugenics movement that finished in 1979, aimed at keeping the poor and mentally ill from having children. Now, decades on, one state -- North Carolina -- is considering compensation.

Editor: Isn't it interesting this was reported in a Zimbabwean news outlet?
