Ahh i have seen this topic on a forum called “willows open forum”
A child is nothing that can be trained for and the knowledge? what do you mean by this you can have all the knowledge in the world but babies if you haven’t noticed do stick to rules like a trained animal.
The best training in the world for kids is to have them, that is the only way to learn. I’m sure there’s a few parents here with more than one child that can tell me whether what i am about to say is true: “No child is the same in raising, same parents, same environment but the a 2nd child will need different nurturing than the 1st.”
Either way, something else you don’t seem to take into account is that you are basically saying people cannot have sex. I’m sure there’s people here that know that there is no such thing as a 100% reliable contraceptive - by experience everyone else probably knows that anyways.
So what happens does this mean we have to abstain from sex unless we want a child and have appropriate licence to do so?
What happens if the contraceptive fails? Do the poor parents have to be made unable to have children by something that wasn’t their fault?
If this is a loop-hole then whats to stop people from claiming this happened? There is no way to know for sure and people are obviously get accused when it truely was an accident just like when we had the death penalty.
Then what about people who move to this country who have children? Do they have to pass a parent/child test before we let them in? People would would leave the country and have kids and if/when they want to come back what do they do?
Also what if a woman wants a child so badly she sleeps with some guy then “claims” he raped her? Does the poor guy get the snip because he didn’t know what she was upto? Will the poor guy goto jail because no one believed him?
While the idea holds promise there is no way to put it into action and right now it would cause more problems than it would ever solve.

Also just thought i would add, just because people pass the test doesn’t mean they are good parents. Like a driving test a little effort and people can pass a driving test - but once they have the licence they do as they will so tests and licences do not make good parents/drivers or anything else.
Imagine making a woman unable to have children because of something not her fault then a few years later find out she was innocent afterall? That poor woman connot have kids ever again how would you make it up to her? Adoption is a possiblity but having children and having your OWN children is a very different thing even though people may say it’s not.
I think any members here who have both their own children and/or adopted/step-children will understand what i mean by that.

The 2nd child idea is a bad idea IMO those “2nd” children used to be poorly treated and abused - but is it really their fault? They weren’t even born and they got the ■■■■. At least that’s what i was taught in school - while this most likely is not the case anymore (at least i hope not) if it was ever true it could be a bad thing to adopt. While most people wouldn’t do things like that some do and these people will always exsist.
