Crazy take: people get to choose if they have children.

[-] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

Yes... But should they get that choice?

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd make it so every 12 year old that could make sperm (trans, cis, whatever) gets a reversible vasectomy automatically. Then, if/when they ever want and plan for starting a family, they can take the class on childhood development and how to be a good parent who raises not shitty humans. If they pass, great! They get to undo the vasectomy and try for a family. If not, oh well, no one wanted to have to support your shitty kids in the first place.

I have no idea how something like this could ever actually be implemented in a fair way... Hense the need for the magic wand

How about we fix the fucking society, so raising children isn't so fucking volatile instead of thinking up some wand of eugenics +2?

[-] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Well, yeah, that would be the best way to go... I'd still think people should have to pass a class before they're allowed to be responsible for another human beings entire life

I don't trust state insitutions enough for that not to turnsinto yet another way to screw over the poor.

Certainly not as long as the corporations are in control of the government
