Hi Coyote,
But evolution has no feelings. Its not "survival of the fittest" but survival of the "barely adequate." And the irrational decisions of these parents have the effect of removing some of their genes from the population. A change in the genome qualifies as evolution in action.
Yeah, my first impression was that the parents should get a
Darwin Award.
However, I am also not convinced that it is in the interest of government to prosecute and punish them.
We certainly have a problem with overpopulation, and most every social ill can trace the effects of overpopulation to aggravating the situations.
We don't prosecute and punish people that have 5, 10 or 20 children, even though this is just as socially irresponsible.
Enjoy.
