Is it preferable? (I really don't have the answer. Still mulling it over.
Reading that article, yeah I think it might be. Sociopaths hurt their own children, other people's children, people who aren't children. Clearly these are people who are a danger to others. Tough call though, for sure.

There needs to be a serious system of checks and balances there.

That's one of the scariest things about the condition that Sio posed, and it's the same reason I'm against the death penalty: they are wrong too often. What if the partner was the abuser, but pointed the finger at the mother and she was sterilised? In a zie said/she said situation, how can we ever be sure? I'm not even sure it's fair to do the the mentally challenged, but I have no qualifications to speak in that area.
