Lately I’ve been noticing that the people who mainly should not have children, whether due to economic limitations, illnesses, or even mental instability, are the ones who have the most children, and many times they end up as single fathers/mothers. My question is whether it would be a good idea to implement some kind of regulation and set minimum requirements that must be met, mainly to prevent the child from ending up in the future as a criminal or a social burden due to those factors.

    The people doing the most damage to the world are billionaires who have access to power that the rest of us can hardly imagine, so we could talk about what it would look like to interrupt the cycle by not allowing them to reproduce and separating them from any existing children so over the long term other families have an opportunity to rise to the top (and maybe society would level out a bit in the process). If greed has a genetic component, this would also apply selective pressure against genes for greed.

    What do you think OP, start with the billionaires?
