After things we,ve all seen and heard in the media, I think parents should have to register to become parents and pass a stringent test to have the essential requirement s to go ahead and have children. I dont think we have an inherent right to have kids...its not god given.
Oh dear god, you cannot be serious? My humble experience and the obvious reality of biology is that, yes, it is a god given right!
Of course, we could tightly control every aspect of everyones lives and make a perfect society where no wrong is ever done, what a majical wonderland it would be! Utopia is a fools dream, and self contradictory by definition. Orwell explored this concept thoroughly, you should read some before making broad generalisations such as this. The underlying theme of 1984 for example is not that of a cruel and nasty fascist society - it is an example of a perfectly controlled left wing utopia. This was Orwells intension at least, the logical conclusion of all utopian ideals.
Of course child abuse is detestable, but like all things you cannot simply put a stop to it through the blunt instrument of the law! The issue is so much more complex than that. Perhaps one good first step is if we stopped trying to ignore the society around us and isolate ourselves in little bubbles. How does that sound? Its pretty easy to ignore the social expectations of people around you if you pretend they don't exist.
