Researchers estimate that as many as 54 of the individuals forcibly sterilized in Utah may still be alive today. “Given the advanced age of the potential survivors, time is running out for a reconciliation,” the study reads.
Although it was widely observed and carried out throughout the U.S., its utilization is commonly associated with Nazi Germany.
None of Utah’s governors past and present, nor its Legislature, have officially acknowledged the state’s historic propagation and execution of forced sterilization. “We are in the process of trying to identify any individuals still living who underwent these procedures. We plan to issue personal apologies to any individuals we are able to identify. While an apology cannot right the wrongs that were committed, we recognize the importance of acknowledging and understanding this history so we can learn from it and do better both now and in the future,” the statement continued.
“Given the advanced age of the potential survivors, time is running out for a reconciliation that can be experienced by those who were most harmed by the practice,” the study reads.
