Lately I’ve been noticing that the people who mainly should not have children, whether due to economic limitations, illnesses, or even mental instability, are the ones who have the most children, and many times they end up as single fathers/mothers. My question is whether it would be a good idea to implement some kind of regulation and set minimum requirements that must be met, mainly to prevent the child from ending up in the future as a criminal or a social burden due to those factors.
I think that, to a certain extent, such a thing would actually benefit politicians: more cheap labor for industry. But eventually it would backfire on them, not so much because the population somehow became enlightened, but because social degradation would reach a breaking point that would lead to a widespread revolution, and given the intellectual characteristics of that population, there would be no way to rebuild again.
