Lately I’ve been noticing that the people who mainly should not have children, whether due to economic limitations, illnesses, or even mental instability, are the ones who have the most children, and many times they end up as single fathers/mothers. My question is whether it would be a good idea to implement some kind of regulation and set minimum requirements that must be met, mainly to prevent the child from ending up in the future as a criminal or a social burden due to those factors.
Did somebody just discover eugenics?
No, the government cannot be trusted with that power. It will be abused, it has been abused, it has been abused by governments within the past couple decades: involuntary sterilization of First Nations women in Canada, for example.
