	I've seen a lot of discussion of this posting, pro and con, but
not *one* person has pointed out how impractical it is. When we're not
even able to get food to these people, how the heck are we supposed to
send thousands of medical teams to perform sterilizations???
	Tell you what: I'll agree to making them all sign forms *consenting*
to sterilization; then if someone like Phil wants to head over to Ethiopia
to try to *enforce* the consents, he's welcome to try ;-).
