Bob, a very racist billionaire, pays racial minorities a large lump sum in order to get sterilized. He only pays minorities who are fully informed, of sound mind, and clearly express consent.
Should this be legal, or illegal?

hard to stipulate “sound mind” when (potentially poor) people are being paid (potentially lots of) money

If these people accept money to become sterile knowing the full knowledge of their intention, it should be legal. More corporations should do this. That is to say, fully inform the public of their intentions. Instead they either sugar coat or just lie.

People are entitled to lawfully dispose of their assets as they wish. Adults of sound mind are entitled to enter into lawful agreements as they wish. Private beliefs & motives are irrelevant. If a rich racist offered to make me rich in exchange for sterilization, I might accept.

Perhaps only people that were saving for sterilization anyway accepted the offer, and they just got the healthcare they wanted, paid for by Bob.
