“It is curious that while good people go to great lengths to spare their children from suffering, few of them seem to notice that the one (and only) guaranteed way to prevent all the suffering of their children is not to bring those children into existence in the first place.”

“I don’t understand the logic in trying to convince someone who doesn’t want kids that they should have them anyway. If they are a reluctant parent, they can easily become a resentful parent, which often leads to being a neglectful parent (or possibly even an abusive one). As a society, should we really be trying to convince people who don’t want kids to have them anyway?”
