A eugenics program I've been thinking about is optional and compensated sterilization payed for by the government.
"If you are a woman or man unfit for parenthood, we will pay you $5,000-$10,000 to be sterilized."
Whether or not you'll be accepted and how much money you'll get will be determined through intensive screening. Included in that screening process will be looking into your family history. To look for genetic predispositions towards addiction, violence, mental illness, ect.
That one time fee of $5,000-$10,000 is nothing compared to the cost, trouble, and burden of dealing with a generation of abused, beaten, and neglected children. Children whose moms drank or did drugs while she was pregnant with them, and will live on disability or in a nursing home/mental institution for life. Abused children who will probably wind up in prison and become drug addicts and alcoholics. Joining gangs, and living a life of violence.
Such an immense burden would be lifted if we gave genetically or mentally unfit people incentive to sterilize themselves. This would be such a simple, yet effective and humane solution for many of societies problems. It is eugenics without tragedy or bloodshed. Genetically inferior people would simply start to evaporate from the gene pool over the course of a few generations.
Fuck. I would do it and take that money. I made a vow to never have children anyways, I wouldn't want any offspring of mine to live the life I've had.
