Seriously.
I've seen several families destroyed by the challenges involved in raising children with special needs, or rare diseases.
Having a nuero/genetically-typical child is a challenging full time job. Add in the prospect of it being a full triple-time job for their entire life, whether that's six years or 130 years and it's not likely to be remotely possible for the vast majority of families to sustain. Between the mandatory extra time commitments, lost pay, increased expenses, and the conversation changes. How could it not?
- mordechai9000 6y agoI had a coworker with a child with severe cerebral palsy, and the evident strain on him and his family was enormous. I couldn't believe they were effectively thrown on their own resources. I came to the opinion that people in that situation deserve all the help society can give them, including caregivers and even special living situations. Anyone who has children runs that risk. And society needs children, unless you believe the human race should let itself die out.
