My sister fell under that law in NC.

Wait, what? You mean they sterilized your sister for being epileptic? If that's the case, it's just awful.

Further, I'm astounded that no one had yet replied to your post...

No, she wasn’t sterilized. The law at the time was that she would have to be sterilized before she could be married. Her epilepsy was due to injury not heredity but that didn’t matter.
