Another good reason I realised that licensed parenthood isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sure, I did what I could to keep the focus on the nurture instead of the nature (testing like the driver's license focusing only on a person or couple's own skills and not those of their ancestors, no penalties for unlicensed parenthood outside of losing your kids), but if it's too tainted by eugenical bullshit to catch on, it probably isn't worth it.
Disabled, non-whites, and yes the poor would be first on the chopping block
