The woman in this story is evidence that you cannot determine what kind of person some one is or will be by there up bringing and or environment. Everyone has choices to make, those choices determine who we will be.
As for the act of sterilizing women because they where deemed undesirables, thats just despicable. Reading that it happened with out womens knowledge was even more disgusting to me. Its amazing some of the things that our government has done in the past and probably in the present. This entire story is like something out of a movie!
