You are not considered the moral debate of taking away someone's right to reproduce (personal "freedom").
One thing is allow science to evolve and research ( people to do whatever they want in that sense) another thing is to give the government the right to determine who's good enough to "reproduce" and who's not. It's really twisted if you think about it and not much different from most fascist ideas - some people are "superior" and we determine who they are, other people are "inferior" and we opress them and control their reproduction.
When you say this idea would work in "troublesome areas" you're pretty much saying the richer would get away with it and the poorer would be the victims.
We're also living in a world in which the great majority of the population (the poorer) have no access to education, birth control or even the idea that there could be any other objective in life.
I agree with Nefeli, education is key, people need choices, not more control.
