I hear your argument, but I also wonder what percentage of people think back and say, “My childhood wasn’t ideal, I wish I had never been born at all.”
I think that’s a poor argument for pretty much the exact same reason. Self preservation is very strong among all living creatures. It doesn’t take quality of life or society into consideration.
If we lived in a utopia, it’d be a better argument. We don’t. And forcing those who don’t have the financial capacity to take care of someone, to take care of someone, is just going to force them to make terrible decisions in order to survive. You know, because of self preservation. And that’s only one potential deficit someone could have. Maybe they don’t have the emotional capacity. Maybe they have genetics they don’t want to pass along. Maybe the kid will be disabled. Maybe, whatever million other reasons someone could think of.
Why force someone into a life of hardship from the get go?
