“Another reason Buck v. Bell cannot be left in the past is that . . . it has never been overturned. In a later case [Skinner], the court struck down an Oklahoma law providing for sterilization of certain criminals, but it did so because of its objection to the definition of which crimes would lead to sterilization. The court did not . . . even limit Buck . . . states continued to sterilize thousands of people.”
