Most people seem to have a preference for having children.
> People must be more responsible.
That's another preference, but unfortunately for you it's a minority preference while preferences are averaged (democracry) then encoded (law) at the society level.
So what's happening is the opposite: people who prefer not having children will be made to subsidize the costs of these expansive treatments.
What's interesting is that there's also a taboo of editing DNA, but this decision shows the societal preference for having children is greater than this taboo.
So maybe this taboo is just a preference after all, or a path dependant result due to the precedent of eugenism?
