The fact that if you can afford it you can have a child by a surrogate has meant that many people - of any gender or sexuality can afford a child. It has meant that women who are no longer fertile can parent. But the question is still the same: just because you can does not mean you should.
Though we cannot guarantee anything in life, we do need to think about what would happen to a child if both parents were unable to parent.
I see the crisis in affordability of everything.
I see how population is shifting due to unaffordability.
I see how contraception has allowed women to choose to have a child or not though contraception is not perfect. Abortion also, though this is still a difficult choice for many and increasingly there are those who want to basically FORCE PARENTING.
Adoption is an option but POOR WOMEN SHOULD NOT UNPAID BABY MAKERS FOR RICH PEOPLE.
BEING NMNK does not mean you don't care about children.
This Daily Mail UK- MAIL ON LINE article discusses the 60 somethings who have children and will likely die before they are adults. I DO THINK IT IS SELFISH. I seriously question people in their 50's having children for the same reason. Wealth and a younger spouse as well as a functional family willing to step in can figure in the decision.
