Should You Have to Have A permit To Have Children?

[stinkyattic]

I believe something like regulating child bearing is a step toward making a powerful government even more fascist.

In a "perfect" world there wouldnt be weirdos and everybody would be able to have their children... so this question only makes sense in our imperfect world.

Both EXCELLENT points. You know that if there were a screening for parenthood, the responsible agency personnel would not be able to avoid consciously or unconsciously discriminating against whoever they happened to feel shouldn't breed so much... Eventually, only employed middle-class and above people with no family history of any type of genetic 'defect' (again, open to interpretation what constitutes a defective human) would be allowed to continue their genetic line...

Already people can be denied health insurance based on their genetic propensity to disease... it's only a matter of time...
