Oh hooray, I sparked an argument.
I agree that it is selfish to sow your seed knowing how debilitating your mental and or physical illnesses are. But I also understand the human urge to flanoodle. The fact that we are wired to want to make as many minnie me's as possible is a highlight of our natural selfishness in itself. Like damn, I know my baby would be cute.



I think that when you have seriously debilitating mental or physical illness and chose to procreate on the off chance that the child may not carry the same problems based on personal reasons of "love, strength, and adversity", that's some cheesy chicken soup for the soul type shit. You may say that's being a bit impassive, but I disagree. I think it show's more empathy and kindness to relinquish your own desire of kids who look like you because you don't want another life to suffer as you did. If it's only because you really really want a family but you're also in no financial position to adopt, well toughest of luck, life had never been completely fair with you why think that that's going to change now? Anyways, how about dogs? And even then people like to choose the one that looks like them.
And yes, idiots can fuck up with their normal, healthy child as well. But it's different when you know what you're doing, at least those idiots didn't. & to what extent do people normally fuck up their child anyways? I'd rather have that than be predisposed with something with which I can only pacify but never cure.
Also, even when the child ends up not having your own maladies, can't that shit possibly pop up with their own kids? (Confirm me on this, I don't know too much on genetics)
