yeah you really really want to prevent them to have kids on accident. hell on purpose too.
those poor kids
one fucked up parent already fucks up a kid. imagine two
its a place where people calm down for the first time in forever, bored and together with others in the same situation. ofc romance ensures
Worse yet a lot of mental health conditions have genetic components so the kids are basically getting the worst hand you can possibly deal them.
We should get the government to put a licence on breeding so only the genetically strong can have children
This thread went into eugenics stuff waaay too fast
I thought it had a pretty even pace
I mean it sounds harsh, but some people really shouldn‘t have kids. Some because of genetics (adoption is fine) and some because they are clinically insane and would destroy their children‘s psyche (these kids would be better off given up for adoption)
In reality that‘s hard to achieve, but it is true.
it's one thing to believe in that at a high level, and another to enshrine it into law & enforce it.
The potential of abuse is wayyy to high to actually make laws about that.
It would be like saying that eating unhealthy is bad and then passing laws that may lead to someone being executed for eating a Twix.
If childcare resources were abundant and free that would offset the problem a great deal, but capitalism and rugged individualism and all that. Like, given all the stupid out there I definitely see the appeal of it, and even things like eliminating genetic disorders would qualify so the line gets kinda fuzzy insofar as the ethics are concerned. The issue is that once systems are in place for wide scale eugenics of any flavor, some asshole will absolutely use it to genocide an ethnic group or other minority.
Very predictable plot 4/10 would read again. 7/10 with rice.
