This bothers me... a lot
Curing Obesity through Sterility
Okay, I know it's voluntary but isn't it also saying, "Hey you fatty... don't have kids or they'll be fat too." And then what's next. "We want fewer brown people, let's offer free vasectomys to them too." And then who's next? This sets a very bad precedence. "We don't want more people like me around, I'll get neutered." If someone doesn't want to have kids, that's one thing. But to encourage them to get gelded because of an undisirable trait is just plain wrong.
