this sterilization has to be performed even against the will of the person to
be sterilized, unless he made the application himself. The public health
officer has to arrange the necessary measures with the police. Direct force may
be used if other measures do not suffice. 2.

In case of a rejection of the application a reopening of the case is permissible only if new facts have appeared which justify the sterilization. |
