We also have no requirement to become a parent. No education requirement once you become pregnant or a parent from the local schools or clinics. Good parenting is not just some "God given talent", but can be improved through education to help parents of all wealth levels. If you want to raise the "potential of the country", help with sex education and parental education.

Honest question for you: are you doing that? If not, why not? If so, can you share the successes and failures?

I agree with you 100%.

Make contraception as common and mandatory as school vaccination programs. Vasagel exists for males (and more technologies will show up down the line) and female contraception is relatively mature. Have the implants tied to RFID with expiry dates signed by manufacturers. Verifiable chain of trust. Make having babies similar to driving licenses. Whitelisting instead of trying to prevent it from occuring after the fact. The technology is there, just that everyone would hate the idea and implementation. Not to mention the societal ramifications.

What will you do when someone eventually breaks the law?
