Given that a good chunk of parents out there are completely inept (see: antivax parents), I'm personally up for governments having control over matters of public health.
Wouldn't that create more a equal playing field where all kids are raised using the same methods? Social economic differences between families would be elimated through this model.
Men/women would not have to raise children. They would have more time to work and more money/time to spend on themselves. This would create a more level playing field allowing women to stay in the workforce allowing for more wage equalization levels between the sexes.
One could say parenting is the greatest public health matter.
Taking things to their logical extremes to dictate a point is disingenuous and ultimately unhelpful.
China identifies a problem; they introduce policy to try to solve the problem.
Government should make all health decisions for children.
My comment is a natural outcome of allowing that. No one is saying China is doing that currently because of this policy. No one is talking about China at all.
