Although
he admits it “sounds blatantly authoritarian” and “violates just about
every core value we possess in a free society,” a noted transhumanist
author has said a world government body should forcibly sterilize
anyone “deemed unworthy” of parenthood by using implanted microchips.
Constitutional
attorney and civil liberties expert John W. Whitehead, founder of The
Rutherford Institute, warned LifeSiteNews.com earlier this year that
political officials would long to use this seminal technology.
In an article for Wired.com today, philosopher Zoltan Istvan wrote that
the notion first crossed his mind when he heard a blonde nurse say,
“with 10,000 kids dying everyday around the world from starvation,
you'd think we'd put birth control in the water.”
The
Ehrlichs co-authored the 1977 book Ecoscience with current Obama
Science Czar John Holdren. They endorsed a “comprehensive planetary
regime” to control fertility, adding that “compulsory
population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory
abortion, could be sustained under the existing constitution if the
population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
President Obama recently
said he relies on Holdren to formulate his
science policy.
After careful thought, in an effort to “give hundreds of millions of
future kids a better life, I cautiously endorse the idea of licensing
parents,” Istvan wrote today.
The process, he said, “would be little different than getting a
driver's license.” Parents must “pass a series of basic tests” in order
to “get the green light to get pregnant and raise children.”
“Those applicants who are deemed unworthy” for a variety of reasons –
he lists homelessness, criminal history, and poverty among his examples
– “would not be allowed until they could demonstrate they were suitable
parents.”

TEXT
The question is not whether parents can or should be "licensed" to have children.
ReplyDeleteThe question is: What happens when someone doesn't qualify for their license? How would the Gummint prevent them from having chilluns?
As usual with the Left, it's all about intentions, and the outcomes are irrelevant.
As a wise man once said: pay no attention to where the line are being drawn; pay attention to who is drawing the line.

My hobby is writing -- poetry, short fiction, long fiction, articles, rants . . . . .
ReplyDeleteSome years ago I wrote a novella on that very thing, a bioengineered microorganism with roughly 95% effectiveness that when introduced in a local water supply would render males infertile and females incapable of ovulation.
Some guys build boats in their basements that no one will ever sail; I write stories in my office that no one will ever read.
Normally I'll put a finished story away for a year or so, then pull it out to edit and smooth it up. Often they expose facets of my personality I'd really rather no one else know about.
When I re-read that one, I found it to be extremely racist and genocidal, quite Hitlerian in its ethnic cleansing pursuit and rationalization thereof.
So I took it out to the back yard and burned it page by page in a 50-gallon drum. Very cathartic. I've done that with about 25 stories of varying length.
"When I re-read that one, I found it to be extremely racist and genocidal..."
ReplyDeleteNot to worry, you're a normal human being. Everybody is extremely racist and genocidal. But if you are a White man you certainly must die.
Or, just look at Algore. If you can stand to.

i think Aldous Huxley already wrote this book.
ReplyDeleteIt is too goddam bad that the Ayatollah's mother didn't have that chip some 52 years ago. Look at all the problems that could have been avoided.
