Well, I know a few people from where my family originates did some mass sterilizations and it was definitely considered a war crime. They started with "feeble minded" people etc.
It's a slippery slope and I can have nothing to do with it.. the wounds are just too recent from what we did to most of Europe.

It would not necessarily be considered "genocide". Sperm cells have been created from bone cells, so even sterility doesn't mean the end of the ability to reproduce. Human cloning is also a possibility, and in a situation like this, might be the only option to get around the sterilization. Genocide means the killing of the people, but mass sterilizations is getting close to it.

Genocide involves killing; sterilization, while preventing reproduction, leaves the people alive. If it's done to a specific group of people (nationality, religion, ethnic group) I'm sure it's a crime, but it's not genocide.

Nope. It wudn't be considered genocide.
It's happened before in many countries. One dude called Sanjay Gandhi did it in India on an unsuspecting lower class of people.

Yes I think that would be genocide as it would result in wiping out a population, it would just take a little longer.

I don't think so. I think genocide is when you kill, or at least attempt to kill, a group of people...but don't quote me on that, because I am not sure.
