Sex is disgusting in their view "they reproduce with the lights turned off" and they find eachother disgusting. I think handing out a few bucks from the government won't solve these issues (in the first place) and as a side effect, people could be ashamed of having children, or show other people they have children. Maybe I'm extrapolating too far, but I think it might be different from how we handle kids on earth. Your proposal might work in Denmark, this world needs more. | |

I'd go with taxes: simply tax all citizens who do not have living children with taxes increasing with age (eg. 10% tax when potential parent is at 18 years of age, 20% when they're 22 and still don't have children, 50% if they're 30 and no children, 75% if they are 40, 95% if they are 50 years old and childrenless - making them paupers if they didn't manage to reproduce). It would work just fine, see how human aristocracy breeded children for political/money advantages... | |
