    I wish the article had put additional emphasis on the lack of safeguards and monitoring of surgeons performing sterilizations in India, in addition to the lack of education and availability of other options for birth control.

    On the other hand, contrast that with people in the US who want the "nuclear" option of sterilization and can't get it without jumping through hoops.

      I believe safeguards and education are in place, but similar to other parts of the world, it's the financially vulnerably that this happens too.

      It is sort of ironic that women in US have to go through so much for the same option.
