First of all, I am a bachelor, so this is a hypothetical question, but:
Most people say that they don't want kids, because they are too expensive.
But my #1 reason for not wanting to have kids is because:
There is no guarentee that my child would be born heatthy. I don't deny that science has made great advances in preventing specific conditions, BUT-There is no guarentee that my child will be born healthy.
Now many people would say that this is just being selfish, but I KNOW that I do NOT have what it takes to bring up a disabled child! That is why, (IF) I ever get married, I would never want to have kids!
I am NOT knocking those who ARE raising disabled kids-I have nothing but the greatest admration for you-it's just that I don't have what it takes-THAT is why I would never have kids.
Am I being selfish, or just honest?
