Becoming a parent is not a right, it is a privilege (I guess). You need a license to get married, drive, hunt or fish, your dog needs one. There should be some sort of class and background check you must pass before being allowed to procreate. Just the basics like: this is the level of care and support this small helpless mammal needs to be healthy and grow to maturity. This is how much, minimum, that quality upbringing will cost and do you meet that bare minimum level of competence and income to raise a healthy baby.

Who decides who can pro-create? What is the criteria?

I don't see a scenario where this works out well.

How tf does this shitty reply have 17 upvotes? How the fuck did 17 COMPLETE IDIOTS show that and though: "Hmmm... He is right!"

Like, hw stupid can you all be? Who's going to decide? Obvious professionals who know of kids and have worked with them. Social workers, pedopsychiatrist, teachers, etc.

This isn't even something new. This is how it's done with adoption. You can't all be so ignorant and dumb. I hate democracy because of idiots like you...

Ah, the age-old unpopularopinions dilemma. Do I upvote because I agree, or upvote because it is unpopular and I disagree?

It's not that hard i don't think. Just ask yourself should other people see this comment?
