Students guide to this site

Home > Index of articles > This page

A lot of the emails I get are from high school, or medical students working on projects related to voluntary sterilization. Many of the commonly asked questions are already on the site. I thought it might helpful if I listed the pages on this site that are most likely to answer any of the questions students have. I'm happy to help people out with research, but I do ask that anyone doing a project have a look at the pages listed below before emailing me. If you can't find what you are looking for, or you have read them and would like further clarification please email me.
