I have this theory that when you're born, everyone should get a shot that makes you sterile. Both male and female. When you're old enough and want kids of your own you take a parenting class and pass with perfect scores and have to pass a sanity test. If you pass then you get a shot that makes you fertile again and you can have kids. Those who fail can't breed.
Once you have kids, social services will visit you randomly for 3 years to make sure the kids are safe and getting the care they need. If you're caught abusing them, you become sterile again and the government will never allow you to have kids again
The problem there is people would complain about their rights getting taken away, and the conspiracy theorists would go absolutely fucking NUTS about how, "the government is forcing us into selective breeding."
Well their rights would be given back so long as they're deemed well enough. Tbh someone who wants kids but doesn't have the mental state or financial stability to have them and be good parents shouldn't have them.
I also have a back up plan for the kids who were taken from their parents. Parents who want kids, but don't want them biologically, can go through the tests as well, and if they passed, will be "standby" parents. If a child is removed from their home due to mistreatment, they will immediately be given to a standby family because they've already been approved as stable parents and the kids won't have to spend the rest of their lives in orphanages
That doesn't refer to kids. When you have a child, you can either save them or condemn them.
If you're too young or not mentally capable to have kids then you shouldn't. Children are stuck with you unless you abandon them.
Having kids is a privilege because you should feel honored that you made a little you
Well, while I can see the merits of your idea, I can't agree with denying someone their rights just because you don't think it should be a natural right.
Once you have kids, social services will visit you randomly for 3 years to make sure the kids are safe and getting the care they need. If you're caught abusing them, you become sterile again and the government will never allow you to have kids again
And yeah, fair.
It's fun to think About, but a bill that would allow it would never get passed
