That simply does not follow, the fact that I am paid for work does not mean that I did not go to work voluntarily.
It does more to help the welfare system, birth defects caused by pregnant mothers being addicts, potentially horrible lives for the children bought into the home of a drug addicts etc. It's not Eugenics as they are not selecting against a genetic defect, it's simply situational selection. Some people know they will probably not get off drugs, and don't want to have children because of the poor quality of life this child is likely to have, under this circumstance I don't think it's unethical to offer an incentive for action.
