Article 37 - Sterilization
Sterilization is the term used to define a range of intentional techniques to render an organism or species unable to reproduce.
The four (4) main methods of Sterilization are Surgical, Radiological, Pharmacological and Genetic:
(i) Surgical Sterilization is the primary method volunteered by those seeking sterilization and includes both male and female surgery and normally involved the removal of part or all the sexual reproductive organs; and
(ii) Radiological Sterilization is a side effect of radiation poisoning and is usually involuntary with victims often dying from other side effects; and
(iii) Pharmacological or “Chemical” Sterilization is also usually an unintentional side effect of consumption of certain medicines or chemicals, the most wide spread examples being vaccinations of certain third word populations; and
(iv) Genetic Sterilization is the deliberate manipulation of genetic material to render a species infertile, usually with unforeseen consequences of such reckless use of technology.
