You do NOT have the right to have 25 kids. There are *way* to many people in the world, and as far as I'm concerned by having to many kids is a form of abuse to the children, as well as an infringement on the rights of other existing people to have a quality life. While every couple (or partnership or individual) has a right to children, to say that right extends to having a right to as many kids as you want is crazy.
At this point in the world each extra person is degrading the quality of life for everyone else just by existing. It's horrible, but true. To think that your right to fertilize every last egg of yours, or that all your spermies deserve an egg, as much as you can, regardless of the consequences is crazy.
