The state of North Carolina ran a Eugenics Board "from 1933 to 1977 as an experiment in genetic engineering once considered a legitimate way to keep welfare rolls small, stop poverty and improve the gene pool." More than 7,600 North Carolinians were sterilized under the program, and while the state formally apologized in 2002, they are STILL trying to figure out how to compensate the victims.
31 other states did this to their residents.
