  the sterilizations of handicapped people, however, went on till the 1970s. sad

kai frederik //:: ps: recently i read that there has already been a case where  
                an us-american university rejected a student because her genetic 
              screening indicated that she  p e r h a p s  would soon fall      
            seriously ill. can anybody confirm this report?
