    To give someone a chance to experience the pleasure of living.

    To contribute to the world an additional person of quality and integrity.

    You probably just haven’t been asking very thoughtful or articulate people.

      God bless your heart if you are this naive 🦄🌈. In the real world pleasure is the exception, pain and death are a warranty in this world. I’m sure you can warranty you’r Kid will be 100% healthy, live a life free of trouble and pain 🫅🏻

        @thepig in my experience these folks think everyone is either rich or has zero disabilities of any kind when thats actually about .00000001% of humans. Or theyre really young and have no idea how much life sucks (but make the best of it anyway if youre here)

          True. I am not religious or even spiritual, but I gotta admit that the budists got it right when they say “suffering is a fundamental constant in life”. Thinking everything will be sunshine and rainbows is not optimism, it’s just being naive.
