The problem with incentivizing sterilization is that you’re essentially abusing power dynamics to coerce vulnerable people into doing something they would otherwise not choose.

You also need to consider that a staggering number of men in prison in the USA for decades were jailed over cannabis, which is now legal in more states all the time. These are not people who we need to sterilize.

Any situation where an authority incentivizes a marginalized individual to be sterilized, there’s a serious problem.
