The world is so overpopulated now that do we really need to increase it? I fear that the movie Idiocracy is becoming a reality. I personally do not think that having a child should be a right but rather a privilege. Why is it that you need license to drive a car, practice medicine, law, real estate, hair cutting, manicures, yet anyone moron can have a child (out of wedlock, to a teenage Mom, unwanted child, etc) and contribute to the dumbing down of society. I do not want to say the eugenics is a good idea but I think that people need to pass a test and have attained a certain level of education and financial stability in order to raise a child. Yes, I know there will always be exceptions, but there is no population crises and with so many children in foster care, homeless or being raised by parents who do not want them, why bring more into the world. I am very thankful that in my mid-thirties I still have no desire for children and do not have a maternal clock. If I could afford it I would have myself sterilized, though as an over-educated intelligent attractive successful woman I have been told that I should contribute to society, but I would never want to bring an innocent child into the messed up world we have created.
