Should people have to be licensed to parent a child? There are so many people out there that are unfit to be parents and having to sit a parenting class before you're allowed to conceive/adopt wouldn't hurt anyone, would it?

License to Parent

Unfortunately babies don't come with instruction books. All the parenting classes in the world, IMO, wouldn't make any difference. Every child is different and you can't expect them all to act the same. It's trial and error for new parents and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.
I'd say the majority of people wouldn't need this. Either way it'd cost billions which governments wouldn't be willing to pay and 95% of people probably wouldn't bother to show up. The adoption process seems to be quite rigorous anyway to ensure only decent people who would do their best for the child are allowed to adopt but there's no way to really stop babies being conceived. What goes on in peoples home's i.e. sex can't be controlled and after that it can't be controlled either.
IMHO, it'd be quite ridiculous to say We're taking your baby because you're not licensed or haven't taken a course. We're talking about a little bit more than an exotic animal.
