And there's another reason I don't find breeding to be a great idea. I already have to deal with the pain of knowing that the people in my life will die someday; I don't want to risk losing a child. Better to save the money it takes to raise a kid than to lose it to some unforeseen tragedy. (Funerals are pretty expensive, too.)

That hasn't stopped a number of us from trying, whether it be in the past or recently. Nobody ever talks about that sort of thing, but I get the feeling there are some among us (even in this thread) who have legitimately considered or attempted suicide.
