Criminalize their actions, lock them up, screw them and their families over, and make certain that others will suffer for their deeds? one of the suggestions I have for people who show up at drug clinics is mandatory sterilization. ...The whole point is...to get those who don't want to be salvaged away from the public, away from their families, away from threatening the rest of us until they do themselves in.

They cost society, for the most part, a fairly large amount of money in social security payments, in prison costs, and in helping them (and often their victims) to put their lives back together. All because their parents were addicts. I'm not saying you HAVE to get sterilized - just like you don't HAVE to take drugs. Just if you want cheap, easily availible drugs, you don't get children. If you want to take drugs, you don't have to hide it from the rest of the world - we'll just help you find somewhere you can do it without hurting anybody else. THAT'S the idea.

Seperation and isolation and physical punishment of the guilty Only thing is you've tossed in the ambiguity of now having to have the state decide who is guilty based on not what they've done, but what their intent is believed to be Jay O'Connor "Going places unmapped to do things unplanned to people unsuspecting"

Make it mandatory if they commit a crime while under the influence, or to pay for their next fix. We don't want these people breeding. They haven't got what it takes to be adequate parents, never mind a prenatal environment that is quite literally poisonous. Also, a certain segment of them are more than a bit inbred, in the genetic sense. I don't think this idea will catch on though. Our society isn't ready for it yet. Plus, there's this vague nagging doubt in the back of my mind. Something about a slippery slope, and the Nazi era in Germany...
