Thanks for your excellent blog comment!
The WaPo review's waffling about whether forced sterilization is ALWAYS evil is a very bad sign. I had thought this type of totalitarianism now was universally condemned, but we see that even this is breaking down. The stain of abortion politics keeps spreading out to corrupt even the most obvious and elementary principles of free society. Nothing can be absolutely evil, because if it is, then...
The 1994 TV movie evidently escaped anyone's notice. It is indeed more timely than ever to do a major film on the Buck v. Bell episode before we find that the whole problem is just "too gray" or "too complicated" -- like slavery which was clearly understood as evil by the Founding generation but became ever more cloudy and complex through the decades leading up to the Civil War, as African Americans were slowly stripped of every natural and civil right they enjoyed at least in some states after the American Revolution.
