People need a take exams to practice medicine, practice law or construct building but the most important thing in life, having a child is granted to anyone with the reproductive ability rather than the skills and life experience to bring up a productive member of society.
Therefore do you think reproductive freedom is a privilege rather than a right that needs to be controlled by parenting exams and only people who show the ability to be proper nurturing parents should have the right to have children. Surely one would not want to construct a skyscraper without taking a requisite course and having the proper experience due to the inherent risks to other people.
Likewise the risks to society of having children that are improperly brought up are even greater and should be regulated.
This is a theoretical question which does not dwell on the practicalities such as punative measures, education or birth control or the ethics of curtailing reproductive freedom which you are free to discuss.
There was this guy ,maybe you've herd of him; Adolf Hitler. Him and the members of the Nazi Party thought it was a good idea in Germany and some other sympathizers in America, Scandinavia and England to implement Eugenics laws. Nowadays, it's people like Shaun Walker and his buddies at the National Alliance. Essentially, kind of what you're suggesting.
They didn't have a problem with sterilizing, beating, killing or sending someone to a death camp who didn't look Nordic-Germanic. But, they thought it was fine for people who stole an item or food or looked too Semitic or Slavic to be sterilized and sent to Auschwitz or some other death slave camp.
I don't know you well enough. But, somehow I think you're not as extreme.
I might be wrong. Amazingly in modern America, on the other hand there are people like O,J Simpson, Charles Manson and the Menendez guy who killed his parents.
They reproduced successfully because they had the right stuff; Looks, success, money or manipulation skills.
Ever notice that women never write anything as remotely detailed about moral requirements in their personal ads compared to the pin point precision of hight and income requirements?
Obviously, those women were not thinking; " Hmm. I wonder if he's really a good person to have children with. " So, it starts with women first. They're the ones who make the final decision.
I don't think O.J Menendez, Hitler, or Manson would have a problem with an I.Q test or smooth talking their way to a woman or never mind a parental screening exam.
Some of you may think that Alcoholism, gambling addiction or various physical or mental handicaps are the problems.
Think again. In Nazi Germany, kids that didn't join the Nazi youth groups were considered to be not properly brought up. If they weren't taught to hate.
Let's say a man passes a theoretical parent exam. Then he's drafted into an extended war like the Iraq war now. Then he kills some innocent civilians like another family and returns home to his beleived family.
He's a murderer who passed the parental test and proceeds to have more of his own kids.
