Should every couple be allowed to have children?

Well to have children is a basic function of human beings there is no question of permission for it. People do change after having children, they work hard to meet the demands of children and their chemistry also increases once they have children.

what is rich enough to have kids? already one has given up work and maybe the other one loses a job and then maybe they would be without every thing materially a child needs. maybe it is just love that is needed there is certainly not enough of that for our children. when children come along the relationship changes and it could be for the worst. there are definatly some people that shouldnt have children if we are talking about bringing them up to 'love thy neighbour'instead of killing/theiving off them. some children never stand a chance, but how do you choose and what would you do - sterilise them. outcry from the politicaly correct :)

This is a hard one. It would be impossible to do but maybe every couple that wants a child should have some experience in the practicalities of having to care for a baby. I don't see the issue as being about money so much as often times people may be struggling but they still do all they can for their kids and stopping someone from having kids just because of money seems very discriminatory. Chemistry between parents also does not seem a good reason as chemistry can and does go. Also some people who have less chemistry may still have a very good marriage and raise their kids well.
