In 1927, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld states\u2019 rights to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abclawcenters.com\/blog\/2018\/11\/06\/involuntary-sterilization-of-disabled-americans-an-historical-overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">forcibly sterilize people deemed \u201cunfit\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;to reproduce \u2014 a practice that was at the core of eugenics and, at times, extended to poor women, minorities, criminals and others. But with the haunt of the Holocaust still fresh, and the progressive movements of the 1960s and \u201970s taking hold, forced sterilization came to be seen as an immoral violation of human rights. The high court ruling was never overturned, but state laws allowing it were repealed. The last state-sanctioned sterilization was in Oregon in 1981, according to reports I found.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>As it turned out, the fear that developmentally disabled people would bear developmentally disabled children proved unfounded. Thus the story my newspaper pursued, about the fate of children who, by the time they were 5 or 6, had surpassed their parents in intellectual capacity. The story was prompted by a special school program designed to help those children advance socially while still supporting the families.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>The story stuck with me because it was such a stark example of unintended or unconsidered consequences: An action or program&nbsp;designed to address one problem can lead to a variety of others that were never foreseen.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Often that can\u2019t be helped \u2014 thus the line borrowed from a Robert Burns poem about best-laid plans of mice and men. It comes from \u201cTo a Mouse,\u201d which Burns penned after accidentally destroying a mouse\u2019s nest while he was plowing a field, and became the inspiration for titling John Steinbeck\u2019s \u201cOf Mice and Men.\u201d From the original poem:<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-quote mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p><em>But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane<br>In proving foresight may be vain:<br>The best laid schemes o\u2019 mice an\u2019 men<br>Gang aft a-gley,<br>An\u2019 lea\u2019e us nought but grief an\u2019 pain,<\/em><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p><em>For promised joy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Sometimes we are aware of consequences, and accept them. Consider the cancer patient who is treated with chemotherapy in the hope that one harm will overpower a far greater one. A version of that same argument can be made about the risks faced by first responders or soldiers fighting for a just cause. On occasion, of course, acceptance of harm to some is willful and self-serving, the hubris of leaders who ignore downsides that could thwart their ambitions.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>But usually, the lack of foresight seems a failure to consider a range of likely outcomes and find ways, if possible, to mitigate a cascade of new harms. That seems especially common in the arena of public policy \u2014 the result of differences in philosophy or party politics, and competition for limited resources. When states made the right decision to repeal laws allowing forced sterilization, it was unlikely they devoted adequate \u2014 if any \u2014 funds to tend to the needs of affected families.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>What does this mean for journalism? When assessing a societal issue or challenge, reporters need to look to its origins and evolution; only then can the public understand the context of decisions. When reporting on a public policy debate, journalists need to squint forward and ask what consequences have been considered, and how they will be managed. And they need to resist easy assumptions or quick claims, and try to report the validity of those claims.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Putting an issue in context means reporting its origins and exploring its implications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8505,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"topics":[],"authors":[3],"issue":[],"class_list":["post-2058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-editor","authors-jacqui-banaszynski"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
