    It seems like child abuse to bring someone into this shithole of a world.

      That’s why I don’t want to do it. Anyone born now or later are going to experience a slow painful death due to lack or resources or a quick painful death in a resource war. And if they have any smarts they would hate my guts once they figure out the fate I had knowingly consigned them to by forcing their concious into a meatsuit.

        If being birthed required consent from the eventual person, no births would go to term.

          Well, did I miss something here? I would have consented… Hell, I’d do it all over again from the beginning even. Let me get to 90, healthily, and then do it all backwards like Merlin.

          Edit: though, hilariously, I don’t have kids, mostly because I don’t have the money to raise one with ease. I’m also just not sure I’m interested.

      That’s why adoption is the best option. It’s not your fault they exist, but they need a loving home.

        adoption is actually surprisingly expensive and difficult, and they vet the shit out of potential parents, heavily discourages single parents if there ever has been one. thats why some of them take advantage of going overseas to adopt. fostering might be more better.

        Adopting a 7 year old or older is the best option. There are 36 couples waiting to adopt for every infant that is up for adoption in the US. The older kids get largely ignored and will likely age out of foster care without ever finding a forever family.

          Definitely! Personally, I think skipping the part when the child is just a crying, pooping machine that doesn’t sleep through the night is a win.
