Why? Should literally everyone have that choice? Should we allow someone like 1944 Hitler to have kids… Just because he WANTS to?
None of it matters since there’s no way to implement anything like this… But for this thought experiment, WHY should every narcissistic asshole who feels like it be allowed to bring a life into this world, when we know full well they aren’t going to take care of it?

Do you think evil is genetic or what?

Because it is not your place to judge who is too narcissistic to have kids and who is going to be a good parent. Not only do people change and someone who has always wanted kids dearly and is a genuine caring person can end up being an awful parent (and the other way around), but also how insanely vain is it to assume that we, the people, can judge an individual and say their personality is not good enough to be a parent.
There is also no way to draw a line. A narcissistic violent pedophile maybe should not be having kids. The next generation will say no former felons should have kids. Then the next generation will say no one who ever had any kind of mental health problems can have kids. The line is arbitrary and hence will be drawn arbitrarily and nonsensical.
You also cannot tell who will be able to take care of a child. Life happens. Great parents die in accidents or become disabled. Depression can get a crippling grip on all of us. People lose their jobs and are fucked especially in countries with no social security net.
We do know how childhood development works. We know what creates a healthy mind during those early years. Nothing I said was about deciding who CAN’T have kids. Not having kids should be the default, and those who are serious about having kids should need to study what we know about how to raise humans in a healthy way. If they learn what we know, then they can have kids, and they’ll probably be grateful they knew what they were getting into ahead of time.
Yes, they should get that choice, you fucking eugenicist. Fuck off and die nazi :3
