It is completely voluntary, and does not involve abortion. What's not to like?

The only "not to like part" is if you have any belief in human redemption. Believe me, most of these people in this position deserve little if any respect. I agree with this program in general. I just think it presents as an interesting ethical dilema.

What's not to like? Well, what happens ten years down the road when a former 18-year-old junkie is now a clean and sober 28-year-old who wants a family? In a perfect world, one can argue that she made her decision voluntarily. But we live in a world where people are suing McDonald's because they're too *** lazy (stupid, whatever) to eat less and exercise more. What's to stop a lawyer from arguing that this poor lady was not responsible for her choice, it was her habit that made her do this?

If I were the outfit doing this, I would make sure that my clients have had face time with a counselor to explain all the consequences of this choice.
