I believe in sterelization of abusive parents. People can change but thst's too big a risk to tke with a human life. They can still get it on but without the chance to concieve their next punching bag. how is that inhumane?

Forced sterilization is inhumane. Period.
What counts as abusive?

shiite law is rough, but it seems to work for them.

Also this premise is a bit after the fact isn't it?
OP I completely agree with you. Sometimes I think we should bring back some of the Eugenics laws of the early 20th century. Not for racist purposes, but I think we can bring about a healthy brand of social darwinism by making sure abusive parents (most of whom have mental health issues) don't have children. Evolutionary psychology's rule of assortative mating also says that people who would be abusive (or otherwise defective) parents tend to mate with each other and have children. If we sterilize couples who show these characteristics, we might be able to do so some good.
We could just have their children put down instead.

Make them watch until they get it right?

That wouldn't be nice, the important thing is to destroy the evidence.

Focusing solely on the biological aspects of abuse seems a little shortsighted to me actually, since there are almost always environmental factors that interact to cause the abusive behavior. Why sterilize and not just make them be put on lists similar to sex offenders so that they are forced to put their kids up for adoption until they have been rehabilitated (if they can be) to be able to care for children? Kids already go to foster care when their parents are abusive, after all.

I missed this the first time around. Are you making things up as you go along or are you being intentionally obtuse?

technically if they are alredy abusive parents its too late, people should rather have a liscence to be a parent.
Birthing license.

Nah ... I say that depending on the severity of the abuse, they could be forced to always wear clothing or signs that say exactly what they did to their children, or be publicly beaten with a baseball bat while restrained, and for anyone who murdered a child perhaps they could be shot in the crotch and then in the head.

But this is my own perspective.

Like A scarlet letter? Hmm...effective. Around here, sex offenders in your neighborhood have to knock on your door and say "Hey, I'm a sex offender." It works.
