[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 3138044, member: 1294"] Really? It's my understanding that it hasn't been overturned, at least not completely. In 2001, the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Eighth_Circuit']United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit[/URL] cited [I]Buck v. Bell[/I] to protect the constitutional rights of a woman coerced into sterilization without procedural due process.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_v._Bell#cite_note-vaughn-23'][23][/URL] The court stated that error and abuse will result if the state does not follow the procedural requirements, established by [I]Buck v. Bell[/I], for performing an involuntary sterilization. So was Holmes a Nazi because much of what I've seen says he wasn't really a progressive. Back to the original subject, what about the studies showing links between genetics and crime? If there's enough to be used in court to help excuse criminals where do we draw the line in using it to the benefit of society? I know tough stuff and slippery slope but it appears we might be heading towards facing it. Some time back there was a discussion here about the financial and societal cost brought on by the changes in the treatment of the mentally ill, what happens when those cost push us towards changing things again?
