Anti-TG law in Sweeden Unconstitutional

Comments

It was about time!

I can drink Gevalia coffee again without guilt now. :-)

On a more serious note, comments on the article did point out that similar laws exist across the European Union in 16 other nations. But since the EU's own court had ruled earlier against Sweden's anti-TGed forced sterilization law, I would expect challenges against them to engender (no pun intended) similar results.

Peace & blessings!

From my horizon

There is no doubt that our law needed to be changed. As it was first put on paper back in 19722 there was almost no other place in the world to look for good musters. We even feel proud of the 8 (eight) paragraphs that constitutes the law, as it was probably the first around the world that handled this facette of Life. One of the problems during the last ten years or so is that we have had Ministers placed in the Minestry for Health that have had a background in a political party wich have religion as one of their ground-pillars. The old law has run into a dead-alley were it has been kept on a don't tell-don't ask level. One case was however brought to the international courts here in Europe and as the physical/ clinical possibilities have now gone so far as to save sperm and tissues for long time, the minister could no longer hold back the neded change of the law. In the initial form it was said that the sterilisation was best for any future kids to know who was faters/mothers. But with todays single marriage form here in Sweden the situation for kids can be confusing even without any genderchange. It can be said that the old law has got ripe for a change.
