I think this is something that we should start to address now. If life-expectancy continues to rise with improvements in modern medicines, etc. then starting now will help to preserve our future.

From a less...charitable standpoint, I feel that if you're not capable of financially supporting yourself, you shouldn't be able to have a child that you will not be able to support. 13% Percent of children are born poor, and of these an estimated 49% will remain poor for at least half of their lifetimes. While there are success stories, this creates more problems than it is worth.
