As someone who recently has a kid, it’s absolutely wild that they just let you leave the hospital with a child, basically no questions asked.
It’s scary how many bad people are allowed to have children.

Some people don’t deserve kids. Come to think of it, a lot of people don’t deserve them.

All kids dont deserve parents like this.
No one ‘deserves’ kids. They aren’t a reward or property. They aren’t there for your entertainment. They are a responsibility.
Maybe so, but some people REALLY don’t.
A responsibility to look after if they are made. Not a responsibility to make them though.
And in my opinion not even a right to make them.
The real challenge though is balancing that fact without falling down the slippery slope of eugenics. Plus parents who are only mildly endangering to their kids tend to be much better for the kids than the foster system is.
The potential for abuse in eugenics is huge, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a case to be made for some genetic filtering, e.g. getting rid of hereditary deceases.
I’m also very torn on the subject of ‘the right to reproduce’ as a human right. For example: do the rights of the parents to reproduce trump the rights of children to grow up in a safe environment? Lots of people who are in terrible situations choose to have kids. People choose to procreate while living in a war zone or in refugee camps, while unable to financially support them, etc. In cases like this I think the rights of the weaker party (the children) should take precedence.

Well, she could at least fix my plumbing. That’s a pretty good skill.
