We all know socially what we would think of a person who had quite irresponsibly fathered a lot of children and abandoned any responsibility in terms of maintenance and so forth. By contrast, Lars from Denmark seems to escape requirements for maintenance. It appears that there is no limit on how many children he might have. It raises all kinds of health questions into the future, especially in light of social mores. For example, it will be quite possible for people to end up in sexual relationships with people to whom they are related. It seems to me that a whole lot of social irresponsibility is potentially underlying this legislation.
