Would the world be a better place if only certain people were allowed to reproduce?

Question

For example, if governments required people to be highly educated, over a certain IQ, no genetic diseases (including both carriers and people with disease), no or limited history of heart disease/cancer, no criminal history, athletically inclined, and financially stable. 
Obviously this would never happen but it would certainly solve overpopulation and would potentially eliminate or reduce the occurrence of certain diseases.

Answer

Who's to say if it would be better or not. However we don't live like this. Humans do not abide by "survival of the fittest" and because of this human evolution has come to a standstill. The possibilities are endless as to what could happen if we did do this, however it's not morally acceptable in humanity to do such a thing.

Answer

I worked kids' retail and taught middle and high school. I'm so tempted to say yes. However, we need variability of genetic information to keep humanity from becoming stagnant.

Answer

I think the last thing we need is for our government to have any more control over our lives. Deciding who can or cannot reproduce is going too far...GATTACA anyone???

Answer

I agree it's not morally acceptable, but I do think that if people can't financially take care of a child, they should not have one. I'm sick of seeing homeless people or people on welfare with like 6 kids. A condom was way cheaper, and the kids (and taxpayers that end up paying for the kid) suffer because of people's carelessness.

Answer

Just because the parents are "successful", healthy or extremely smart doesn't mean the child will be. 
Plenty of successful people come out of lower/middle class, average families.  This would just be cruel to people who aren't "perfect".
I think, if anything, it were possible to make it mandatory for everyone go through parenting classes before they can reproduce. That would probably help a lot of the problems we have, but that's not possible lol.

Answer

It would be boring and stupid if everyone had high iq. All toffs. No one would have there identity so pretty silly

Answer

Sometimes smart people have stupid kids just saying

Answer

I teach and there are so many parents I see every year who have no business having kids (drug addicts, abusers, alcoholics, neglectful, etc.) but they have upwards of 5 kids.  Personally I think there should be an application process to have kids and if you don't pass the process 3 times you are not allowed to have kids ever!!! Just my opinion...

Answer

No but if u got a woman on welfare n loving off the gov they should be required to take birth control. If u can't afford to raise ur kids keep ur pants on. And no drug user should be a parent ever. Meth head moms should be in jail for child abuse.

Answer

We can't play God, but I question this often because of how some people treat their children or how some have unprotected sex when they don't want a kid. Then they're pregnant, complaining, aborting, meanwhile there's women who are responsible, secure with finances and home situations, and ready for kids, who can't get pregnant... God is bigger... gotta remind myself often...
