Jen explained that she would most likely continue the cycle of being a bad parent, and doesnt want to do that to a child. If you ask me thats the opposite of selfish Having children in some ways is the most selfish thing you can do, because you are removing all choice from the child, they don't get to choose to exist, you chose to create them. It's worse if you then abandon the child or if you are a bad parent, and it's why you should be responsible for any children you do have. Adopting is much less selfish since you are helping a child that was already born (and I guess abandoned by it's parents. If you do want kids, you should ensure you can give them a good life before having them. I would still love to have kids but there is no way I would at this point, I'm too old (although possibly not physically, IE I might still be able to have them), and it wouldn't be right. I would love to meet someone with kids someday and perhaps help to raise them, but I'm getting past the age where that is very likely as well (unless I get together with someone much younger than me). It's completely not selfish to not have children though, it's commendable. --- Tacobot 3000 "Saving the world from not having tacos." Glowing Elephant "Stonehedge was a sex thing." ...
