Part 2: if you were the parent, would you feel it would be ethical to keep them alive?

If there is a chance for a cure maybe, but also even if it if there is am I just dooming my parents and myself into homelessness for my cure ? If the answer is yes I’ll skip this chapter in cosmic existence not too keen on the current model we are all apart of so maybe my bias has already positioned any position I might have taken with Doomer^TM^ view. As a parent, I would want to do anything to keep my child alive and give them a chance of life that I never had or at least the chance of getting being happy, but I wouldn’t want them to suffer with no port of safety from the storm that is life along with any pain that wouldn’t be alleviated or healed/cured… I couldn’t do that to just have a genetic version of myself….. man the longer I think about maybe I shouldn’t have replied maybe I wasn’t the target audience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
