What's your take on Compulsory sterilization?

It was a topic that my friend did in school for his persuasive speech. Very interesting as I never heard of the issue before. I was just curious of what people think.
Here’s the the basic wikipedia definition about the issue :

Compulsory sterilization programs are government policies which attempt to force people to undergo surgical sterilization. In the first half of the twentieth century, many such programs were instituted in many countries around the world, usually as part of eugenics programs intended to prevent the reproduction and multiplication of members of the population considered to be carriers of defective genetic traits.
