You've been reading too much Larry Niven.  Do you also propose 
Gladiatorial Pits, where two people, each with an unused birthright,
go in, and one comes out alive with two birthrights ??  Perhaps
disassemble convicted felons for the organ banks ??  And a Birthright
Lottery to hand out those unused birthrights, and as a result, breed
for Luck over time ???

"Be fruitful and multiply", as I recall, was the charge. . .

have...
