The procreation licence.
Posted by noise on Thursday, 14 December 2006 08:59:49
We currently have a huge problem in the UK in terms of an overworked education system with overstuffed classrooms, street crime, kids and drugs, financialy challenged and burdened parents, single parents, teenage mothers etc etc. Any average and above intelligent person can see how each of these things propogates the other, creates circles going from generation to generation and breeding social problem after social problem.
My question is this... is it time to start talking about licencing people before they have children, based on means testing and intelligence testing rather than talking about financial benefits for parents and families as incentives to procreate?
Of course i understand this would be a tough one to police and brings up all sorts of other issues such as civil rights and abortion for discussion and probably, heated argument.
