Inside Story Americas - Forced sterilisation: Time for compensation?

Tens of thousands were forcibly sterilised throughout the 20th century across the US as they were deemed "feeble minded" and "inappropriate candidates" for reproduction.
In 1927, the Supreme Court upheld state statues permitting compulsory sterilisation in the "Buck versus Bell" decision.
The Supreme Court ruling, which Nazis at the Nuremberg trials cited in their defence, has never been expressly overturned.
