I thought and still think that "good" parenting, whatever that means would be as good a criteria as any of the others suggested. However, I do not believe in such criteria as I pointed out in my flame and I my intention was simply to point out how much I disagree with the ideas that have been put forth, because they are so narrow-minded. Using quality of parenting as an eligibility criteria is as bad as all the other possibilities, because it is discriminative against people who do not have children, and like the others is a highly subjective concept.
