It's not eugenics if you just confiscate them at birth. This is already being done with severely unfit parents

One: that's not what was suggested. OP said parental verification/authorization before birth.

Two: you're proposing something like residential schools instead. Which, even if you don't agree constituted genocide, was still pretty bad.

I'm not advocating for our government's insane privacy-violating measures. Just pointing out that OP's proposal is worse. There's got to be better ways to protect children than "police state" or "genocide."
