'Alaattinoğlu's book is essential reading for anyone interested in the regulation of reproductive health. Sterilisation and castration have been used as means of eugenic population control and as restrictions to gender recognition. In both respects, it is important to understand the legal and social processes that have led to their abolition.' Johanna Niemi, University of Helsinki
