Why do they allow morons to become parents?

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21993430-2,00.html


This is an article about an American man who shot his kids up with heroin and cocaine so that they would know how he felt when he did it.


Not only is this a form of abuse on it’s own, but one of the children has contracted Hepatitis C as a result. This guy got 10 years jail for this.


This seriously makes me question constantly how on earth people can become parents. Yes it’s easy physically to become a parent, but there has be some change, ie some kind of licence to do it. You have to have a licence to drive, own a gun etc. You should have to have a licence to become a parent. 10 years is far too light in this case, although I will bite my tongue in saying what I feel should happen to him. There should be a thorough screening process before someone is allowed to become a parent. I thought the whole monitoring babies recently in the news was a bad idea, but frankly I have changed my mind. There should be a psychological and drug test that the future parents need to pass before they’re allowed.


I look forward to the day when science allows us to make it possible to prevent the biological process of reproduction until this kind of test has been passed. Once the couple in question have passed, they should then be implanted with something that enables them to reproduce.
