Not eugenics but just ensuring that they have a fair start in their life.
It's bizarre that if you adopt a dog they'll check how much room you have, any criminal record, your income source, etc. - but you can have a child with none of that.
And then society and the child end up paying for it - via benefit payments, crime, drug problems, etc.
Just simple things like paying a 10k deposit, no recent violent criminal record, etc. would go a long way.
You're basically saying minorities shouldn't have children. 10k is insane. If anything, certain things should be subsidized.
I never wrote anything about minorities. A child will cost far, far, far more than 10k - the point is it'd be a deposit that you get back when they're born to pay for things.
