Good point, and with the costs saved from removing flouride, they could further increase child-hydration profit margins by simply having them eat the paint off the walls instead.
Solution: don't have children. Let some more intelligent species with kindness and empathy take over.
Darn, I already had one. I might consider handing them off to a more intelligent species though, if you have a recommendation? Bonobo maybe?
I suggest we do some genetic fiddling, like how scientists gave the NOVA1 gene to mice. They have been shown to have more empathy than humans.
