Your comment doesn't contain an argument, and it is even attacking a strawman as the GP did explicitly call out non-compulsory as an aspect of it. But I will bite anyway.
Taken GP's reasoning to the extreme, what do you think if the state prohibit someone from having children if (hypothetically) it is known at 100% certainty that their offsprings will inherit a horrible genetic diseases that causes pain and suffering their whole lives, and their life expectancy is 15 years?

Haven't we already proven that monoculture is a bad thing in the long term? I'm reminded of the bananas from the 60s... We're not nearly competent enough yet to play god at this level. It's scary knowing there are egos chomping at the bit to do it.
