I am not one to advocate selective breeding on any level. Thats definitely a slippery slope non of us want to ever see.
Who decides who gets to have children and who doesnt? Will it become a means test, only those who can "afford" them?
Its just something I never wish to see.
No one needs to decide other than people themselves, I mean, if one is just barely surviving on the income they have, where is the sense in creating another mouth to feed and back to clothe, it's just pure natural logic. Or is it we now live in a society where people who cannot afford to have offspring can have them without prior thought, because the state will pay for them, the state being everyone else whether they like it or not. There is as ever only a limited amount of money to go around, for each new unplanned burden, someone else loses out, a trend which will be seen to increase in these more difficult economic times.
And those that are infertile, an increasing trend according to some reports, maybe nature is culling the herd, or what we put into the food chain is coming back to bite us in the ass, but infertility is just that, infertile, so no kids, nature has decided, who are we to ignore nature.
Whether you wish to see it or not, something will come, decisions will be made by world leaders as the rapidly increasing world population will have to addressed at some point soon, we can't rely on the third world famines to control the population in those countries only, we have to do something too, addressing unplanned pregnancy is a start and as to making everyone infertile from a young age, hey, we go out and pay for contraceptives, where is the difference between that and going out and purchasing fertility treatment ?
