True, but what if you're one of those people who have a kid who gets brutally raped and never recovers, or has severe paranoid schizophrenia and needs to be institutionalized, or where you live devolves into a genocidal warzone hell? Most people will be alright but you're gambling your child's well-being on everything being alright, but if they're not you'll bear the responsibility of putting them in that position in the first place.
If you have a kid and something horrible happens will you tell yourself that they were probably gonna be alright but bad luck, mate? Better luck next time? I mean will you be able to justify it to yourself when you know full well the only reason that child got put in front of that bullet was cause
you just really wanted a kid cause it would make
you happy?
