You mentioned you didn't like kids so you're probably not a good one to
raise them. Then don't. With certain exceptions, adopting out a baby is
very easy (logistically, I know it's traumatic).

In terms of avoiding poor specimens, you can't tell that would be the
case; but just that idea reminds me of a lot of science fiction I've read.

Having the right to life be contingent on criteria such as gene makeup
would be a rascist dream who wouldn't consider it possible for certain
races to produce an acceptable specimen.
