Social Consciousness or another Eugenics Project?

A charity offers to pay 200 quid to any drug/alcohol addict who wants to get sterilized.
Bribery?  yes.  Atrocity?  maybe.
Mainly because it seems people should not make such long-term decisions when (most likely) intoxicated.  It's like a drunk person cannot legally consent to sex because the judgment is severely impaired. 
On the other hand, this project is clearly a desperate measure that fits desperate times.
I'm undecided.
