Should people of low intelligence be allowed children?
If your answer is yes, then what if the parent is SO stupid as to not realise when the child is in danger (danger of electric shock, scalding etc...) WHERE do you draw the line as to whom is a suitable parent & who isn't?
Being a parent is hard, and i think no one has the right to tell others how bad their parenting skills are , as you have to be a mother yourself to know, but i do understand about the whole danger thing, they do have toi wake up abit.
Well as long as you love your kids, show it and do everything you can to make them happy and to keep them, you are good parents. Unless you treat them bad, or leave them on their own all the time or don't pay them any attention then everything else is ok.
it is hard to be a parent
While I agree that it's hard to be a parent, I think it's BS to actually raise one or more kids without actually know how to raise them. I think people really need to get a handle on things, just like everything else in the world.
Sure, you'll make mistakes, but I'm the 3rd son in a family of disfunctional kids. That's just not right. A lot of my failures, the fact that I don't "get it", my social inneptness and all kinds of things were wired into me long before I had a real choice to decide what was best for me. And when I was aware and should have been responsible, it was like too late to apply a quick fix. And if you don't know how to fix it, it's going to stick with you.
This is just a fake of life. If you have cool parents that know how to teach there kids a positive and an awareness for how the real world works, then you'll have cool kids. If you don't, well, you'll get the opposite.
And, I think it's really important that both parents are in control of the relationship. it's not right to raise a kid where only one parent is available to raise the kid. Each child needs to see both perspectives early and often, and they need to see a quality loving relationship so they know what it's like when they have one themselves in the future.
And never, ever have a parent who is raising a kid of the opposite sex unless you absolutely know how to raise them properly. The same applies to a parent who is raising a child of the same sex, but doesn't know how to raise that sex properly. I don't like to put any stereotypes on this sort of thing, but if you have a weak, wussy father, or your mother is raising you and you're a son, then you're more than likely to be a weak and wussy man either way. Mom's especially just love to teach their sons to be excellent husbands - needy, giving, etc. This stuff just doesn't work.
So if anyone is going to have kids, make sure you are aware of all of this and do it right. Having a kid must be enjoyable and rewarding, but it has its consequences and responsibilties. Make sure you're doing it right.

Hybrid vigor works, whether you're talking about tomatos, or animals, or even humans. Seriously dumb people are often, not always, seriously inbred as well. Hybrid vigor is the concept that two distinct, not closely related, highly inbred breeding lines, when crossed, will produce progeny MARKEDLY superior to the ancestry of either of the original bloodlines. Therefore, if two seriously retarded himans have offspring, the probability of producing children with at least normal, and probably superior, mental capacity is very great. Depriving such parents of the ability to have children would have the effect of depriving the world of a future Einstein, or Mozart. It would be cultural stupidity, and eventually, cultural suicide.
