One in 8 Million "New York is a city of characters. On the subway and in its streets, from the intensity of Midtown to the intimacy of neighborhood blocks, is a 305-square-mile parade of people with something to say. This is a collection of a few of their passions and problems, relationships and routines, vocations and obsessions. A new story will be added weekly."

MeFiers have gotten into this before, in terms of
forced sterilization. Although it has been around in California for some time, the idea of optional, paid sterilization or long-term birth control is
presenting itself in New York City. (NYT reg.req) The founder of the
organization that sponsors this paid sterilization/LT birth control has her experience with drug-addicted children, seeing as she
adopted four. The FAQ is certainly interesting, but equally as compelling is the
'natural response' to this organization.
