if there were an intentional policy of randomly reassigning all children born on the same day to non-birth parents, does it also make no more sense to be angry at this policy than to be angry about some children being born to poor parents?
- stormbrew 13y agoIt doesn't make it any more or less rational. Whether that's enough justification for it to make sense is somewhat subjective. But: my parents are the people who raised me. If I found out I was adopted or switched at birth I don't think I'd see it any other way. A tiny chunk of dna is barely an investment at all compared to an entire lifetime of money, time, and support (whatever the means). Also, it's not this guy's parents, of either set, or the hospital's fault that some people get a better education than others. It's society's fault as a whole and it's something that it would be nice if we could work on improving.
