Contraception for people with mental retardation

In recent decades, policy-makers and healthcare providers have become increasingly emphatic in their adoption of a specific policy of emancipation for people with mental retardation. At the heart of that policy lies the ambition, wherever possible, to normalise the lives of people with mental retardation and to bring them into line with those of people without intellectual disabilities. This policy has resulted inter alia in more attention being paid to the sexual desires of people with mental retardation who are, furthermore, increasingly finding more opportunities for sexual contact.
