😂 Yes sir! I am an internet cloning DVM that studies you and gives you a replica with just enough differences so that I can pass off as another human.
I do want to incentivize procreation and adoption. Those who decide to not procreate nor adopt are already ill-incentivized for fostering the future of the world, and those who decide to procreate or adopt because of the voting advantage will grow as people in doing so, so I'd feel okay with that small fraction of society gaining some advantage in exchange for putting much more power into the hands of those already well incentivized to foster our future.
I think as well that children only should add to the household's voting weight if the head of household legally married. Divorce would only cause a half-point loss otherwise. Those who get divorced, it seems to me, can hardly run their own lives, so why give them power of governance?
I think we over-estimate how motivated the average person is to gain political power. I don't think people will often change the way they live based on voting advantage. Financial advantage is a little different, though. We ought to incentivize what would make a better society while being careful to not over-incentivize and cause a game-theory paradoxical scenario. We already incentivize marriage by joint-filing tax brackets and child tax credits, but that doesn't change those who choose to not marry, procreate, or adopt.
