i cant think of a reason that someone of that age would need sterilizing, i also cant imagine that any doctor would perform it, and another thing how could they give informed consent at 15, perplexing
yes but a hysterectomy for a medical problem is not strictly a sterilization, anyhow i read wiggs and she made good points but i dont think the reasons for sterilization were discussed, i just wondered what they could be and who would perform it if its not necessary for health at such a young age
Multiple ectopic pregnancies or any condition that causes the embryo to grow in the wrong place. That's life threatening for mother and baby.
Reproductive organs that are malformed yet still possibly able to get pregnant but doing so would cause death in either or both mother and child.
Multiple miscarriages.
Diabetes, heart disease, hypertension-those conditions can easily be life threatening to a woman if she becomes pregnant. If you have a condition such as these and it's incurable, doctors may very well tell you that you cannot bear children ever or you WILL die.
HIV/AIDS-well, it's certainly a concern, isn't it? It can be passed to the baby, and also the mother has a death sentence, so perhaps she CAN make the decision to NOT want to have children, no?? Even if the baby is born healthy, how long will the mother live to raise it? There's no shortage of people today aged 0 to 18 who are living with HIV/AIDS.
There's numerous other conditions and also genetic reasons. Some people have serious genetic conditions and have a 100% or very high likelihood of passing the disease on.
That's what I can think of off the top of my head.
(e) The nature and extent of the individual's disability, as
determined by empirical evidence and not solely on the basis of
standardized tests, renders the individual permanently incapable
of caring for and raising a child, even with reasonable
assistance.
Do you think this is as disturbing as I think it is???

Also, you live in Oregon? TELL YOUR FAMILIES.
This is just... just... *shivers* EVIL. O_O

Sometimes girls have health problems that necessitate hysterectomies at that age. It's not common, but it happens. Anyway, read wigsplitz's comment.

Here, this was also in the law:
(e) The nature and extent of the individual's disability, as
determined by empirical evidence and not solely on the basis of
standardized tests, renders the individual permanently incapable
of caring for and raising a child, even with reasonable
assistance.
