Is it not destroying the life of the parent(s) by giving them a child they do not want and cannot reasonably care for?
- sdegutis 13y agoI have confidence in the malleability of human nature. We can adapt to new situations and still thrive. Change isn't always bad nor does it "destroy" life, even if it seems painful at first.
- rfnslyr 13y agoYou have clearly never lived a remotely shit life to make such claims. Do you understand what absolute poverty is?
- sdegutis 13y agoI don't. My life is pretty great by probably all standards. You're right. But we're all entitled to form our own views of how the world works best, and to discuss it peaceably with others. I think that's kind of the spirit of HN (except usually it's applied towards more technological things).
- dredmorbius 13y agoYou're entitled to your opinion. Not fabricating facts. Your statements and views exhibit a gross misunderstanding of resources, potential, complexity, and systems dynamics.
