I have a genetic disease with a 50 50 shot of passing it on, I've made the personal decision not to have kids, so I am probably biased in my answer

I mean, whether or not a person gets sterilized is already their own choice, and legal. This is just someone offering money to urge a person to get sterilized. It is a very bizarre idea to urge sterility on others, but it's still the person's choice. They can turn down the money.

The question isn’t whether it’s legal, it’s whether the contract is enforceable
