What happened to Carrie Bark? • Throughout her stay in the institute, she was sterilized by Dr. Bell for the ‘good of herself’ and society. • Her sister was later brought to the hospital for appendicitis and was also sterilized. • Within 10 years after the verdict, more than 100, 000 Americans may have been forcibly sterilized.
