The United States Supreme Court in 1927, in the case of Buck v. Bell, provided a legal example that states can sterilize inmates of public institutions (Lombardo, 2009). The court's argument was that epilepsy, feeble-mindedness and imbecility are hereditary and it was important that prisoners pass these defects on to other generations. On May 2, 1927, the court ordered Buck Carrie, who he called a feeble-minded daughter, to undergo sterilization following Virginia's eugenic sterilization act of 1924. Carrie had a feeble-minded daughter and her mother was also feeble-minded of mind. The case determined that compulsory sterilization laws did not violate due process under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. He established the legal mandate and strengthened the US eugenics movement to sterilize over 60,000 citizens in over thirty states. Most of these practices ended in the 1970s (Reilly, 1991). The relevant facts and context of the case indicate that Buck Carrie, an 18-year-old female resident of the state of Virginia, was of feeble mind. Likewise, his mother was also feeble-minded. Although unmarried, Carrie had a feeble-minded daughter (Brocato, 2008). The State of Virginia passed laws in 1924 allowing superintendents of special institutions with hereditary conditions causing insanity to sterilize such persons. In order for the sterilization process to continue, the requirement was for superintendents to petition the board, notify the inmate and his guardian, and call a hearing to provide evidence against and in favor of carrying out the process (Black, 2003) . In the case, Dr. Bell prosecuted Ms. Carrie Buck. This came after the death of his first doctor during the pendency of the case. Similarly, Bell pushed halfway through the paper on Justice Douglas's view that it is unfair to use genetics and heredity issues in legal decisions (Reilly, 1991). Such natural aspects should not violate the individual right to procreation and the Fourteen Amendments. Everyone is therefore entitled to fundamental civil rights. The eugenics movement disappeared after the atrocities of the German regime. Although Holmes' decision was ultimately overturned, Mrs. Buck and many feeble-minded American citizens were victims of the immorality of the State and the Supreme Court. Analyzing the reporting period, neither society nor the individual benefited from compulsory sterilization statutes. It is interesting to note the change in attitudes towards people with mental handicaps over time. Since the late 1950s in the United States, the civil and women's rights movement has contributed to acts regulating the rights of disabled people, including reproductive rights.
