There was a whole movement in the 1930's to do just that, the "eugenics
movement". It culminated with Hitler's experiments. So that one may not
be such a good idea.

Actually, there ARE self induced "requirements" to having a child that
MOST of us abide by. And institutions such as church and family set
"rules" for having children. It is just that when government does it,
it is a disaster.
