      What an abhorrent take. That’s an insane set of expectations to place on someone who doesn’t even have a say in the process of coming into being and, frankly, gambling with another person’s life. “Welp, we couldn’t fix it but good luck kiddo.” Disgusting.

      what is your opinion about this view?

      Personal Opinion: This is as selfish (my child will save the world) and self centred as having a child to “save a marriage” is stupid.

        Yup - the overwhelming odds say they’ll both contribute and fall victim to the problem, not solve it.

        We have ~7bn people alive today, and we can’t muster the will to do what we know we is needed in order to survive. Instead, we’ll refuse to make comparatively small compromises, and sign our children’s death warrants.

      What if your kid lives in abject horror due to systematic failure of the environmental patterns that allow us to thrive
