Cal. Prob. Code § 1956 — Sterilization is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

The person to whom the petition applies shall be present at the hearing except for reason of medical inability. Emotional or psychological instability is not good cause for the absence of the proposed conservatee from the hearing unless, by reason of the instability, attendance at the hearing is likely to cause serious and immediate physiological damage to the proposed conservatee.
