Different cultures and different governments don't often look at social and sexual issues the same as Americans do, and that's fine - the world is a diverse place. But some practices by some governments are just grotesque and inhuman, and that includes using unorthodox (and dangerous) methods to carry out a social policy.
Britain's Telegraph newspaper recently published a graphic photo of a team of Indian physicians carrying out a sterilization procedure on a poor woman using a foot pump that was designed to inflate a bicycle tire.
