I mean it sounds harsh, but some people really shouldn‘t have kids. Some because of genetics (adoption is fine) and some because they are clinically insane and would destroy their children‘s psyche (these kids would be better off given up for adoption)
In reality that‘s hard to achieve, but it is true.
If childcare resources were abundant and free that would offset the problem a great deal, but capitalism and rugged individualism and all that. Like, given all the stupid out there I definitely see the appeal of it, and even things like eliminating genetic disorders would qualify so the line gets kinda fuzzy insofar as the ethics are concerned. The issue is that once systems are in place for wide scale eugenics of any flavor, some asshole will absolutely use it to genocide an ethnic group or other minority.
This thread went into eugenics stuff waaay too fast
I thought it had a pretty even pace

it’s one thing to believe in that at a high level, and another to enshrine it into law & enforce it.
The potential of abuse is wayyy to high to actually make laws about that.
It would be like saying that eating unhealthy is bad and then passing laws that may lead to someone being executed for eating a Twix.
