It wouldn't work in practicality. AT ALL. You can't just impose a law like that on citizens.
I've always thought your IQ should be in a high percentile to be allowed to reproduce. But you could never try to control a society that way and expect peaceful compliance.
I don't think its such a far leap from how they require children to be vaccinated before entering school, that kind of thing. Its for the good of all, and were so used to it that we don't question it now, but imagine how it was when that idea was first introduced. "What?! You want to stick a gigantic needle into my child's arm, and purposefully GIVE THEM this disease?" (Sure it was a harmless form of the disease meant to help you build up an immunity against the deadly one later on, but they probably saw it as germs being put into a healthy child's body.) Alot of things that are normal now were thought of as outlandish at first.
It's a very far leap from that, because you're proposing that we take away some people's rights, and leave others intact. Becoming a parent is one of the most crucial biological desires that's ingrained into our minds. Just look at what people already complain about with the abortion issue.
For the record I don't have much interest in having kids at all, but it's obvious that for the vast majority of people it's their most significant life's desire, or whatever.
It seems like with every decision, some rights are given and some are taken away. With abortion, rights are given to the mother but taken away from the fetus. Maybe I can't fully comprehend how people would feel the need to reproduce more than twice because I don't want kids either. I guess the only way we'd know if this whole thing would work is if it was tried out, but it probably never will be.
IIN that I think reproducing should be authorized by the government?
