OPINION 141/CNECV/2026 ON FORCED STERILISATION (OF PERSONS UNABLE TO GIVE CONSENT)
The Opinion focuses on the ethical assessment of the sterilisation of persons unable to give consent, particularly when this incapacity arises from profound and irreversible intellectual disability. Its fundamental position is that non-therapeutic sterilisation performed without informed consent constitutes a serious violation of human rights and should, as a general rule, be prohibited.
