u say this is not "cool"

Are abortions cool?

Are children born to mentaly unstable parents cool? (A Child Called It)

Are children born to a financially distraught family cool? (child starvation)


just saying... :/ this i think can fix more things than it can break.
First of all, it's not that hard to correct your spelling and grammar. You already had most of it right, it almost looks like you made an effort to NOT write properly.

Second of all, eugenics or governmental regulation over reproduction wouldn't be that easy.
Yes, it's sad that some children are born to unstable or struggling families, but who are we to decide who gets to have a family and who doesn't?
What if a family were to be extremely loving but they are below the poverty level?
Who sets the standards?
Every time there is a form of state control over society, this control tends to be a form of biopower that shapes society to normativize it in a very specific manner.
Hell, if you did this shit before institutional racism was done away with, you'd immediately see that minorities would get rejected for raising families at a much higher rate than most other people.

So yes, it is eugenics in one of the worst possible manners.
