Problem 1: who would want to come to a country where they can be indoctrinated not to have babies?

Problem 2: it is unethical for rich people to depend on the fertility and then parental obligations of poor people in order to produce new people who will then be taxed to pay for the sterile old rich person. That is asking someone else to do all your hard work for you for free.

One cannot conclude an "ought" from an "is" without further assumptions.
