Well, an aptitude test sure wouldn't hurt.

The truth is, once we outgrow the religious imperative to just crank out babies like it's a contest, and make it legal and easy for anyone to have sex without worrying about impregnation, then there would be little need to regulate reproduction.

It's actually called rational thought instead of reproducing like a virus

Eugenics is some evil bullshit. We figured this out around 1935-1945.

Bodily autonomy for all.

The ones who would fail a test to determine if they are mentally prepared for the responsibility of raising a child.

The ones who think that determining if someone would make a good parent (which is done to everyone with wants to adopt) is the same thing as eugenics.
