What if you bring a child into the world that's born with a major, incurable defect?

Life is not always full of joy, in fact, for many it's devoid of it. I think really good points are being made here against children.

I don't believe it's necessarily immoral to have kids, but I DO think it's a serious grey area. It's emphatically not the positive action society makes it out to be.

What's your point? That disabled people's lives aren't worth anything? 🤨

ummm, source? O.o

Also: live can be better, you know. Just because life sucks for some today, doesn't mean it can't improve in the future. That's simply a defeatist stance.

I've yet to see one, tbh.

I think, the question alone shows a misunderstanding of existence: not everything can be cathegorized into "good" and "bad".
