- Tade0 1mo agoLife is full of such gambles and it's inevitable. Anyone who drives risks their life more than they risk having a special needs child at reasonably non-late age. We just brush off most such gambles because: 1. People have a terrible intuition for probabilities. 2. If it were better, they would go insane.
- roarcher 1mo agoI agree. I'm saying that "just have kids younger" isn't a good solution to the risks of developmental defects, because it's usually merely a trade of that risk for a different one.
- Tade0 1mo agoMy intuition is that taking too long to select a partner carries the same risk.
