I have seen many couples who have found ways to go around the issue of parenthood. Either they settle for no children because they have other priorities or they adopt orphans and raised them as their own feeling doubly blessed.</p>\n<p>I think that the concern for parenthood may be universal in as much as people across cultures feel that it is logical, and probably the main point in life, to reproduce and thus perpetuate a family name or a culture. Barrenness or infertility is considered in some cultures as a sign of shame, punishment from the gods or a handicap. However, for different reasons, <strong>some cultures have developed a more relaxed attitude towards procreation and therefore a more tolerant attitude towards men or women who are infertile</strong>.</p>\n<p>I know some people who would rather die before they adopt “who-knows-whose-children”. The idea of raising children whose past or family cannot be traced or who may have “the wrong” kind of genes is appalling for some people. I would not object to adopting, if that would solve the problem. Proper upbringing may be the result of parental care along with environmental factors. Thus, if those two aspects are under control, we may have ideal kids, even if they are not biologically ours.</p>\n<p>I think that loving another person goes beyond that person’s ability to have children, thus <strong>if I fall in love with a woman who happens to be sterile, I cannot judge her for that.</strong> My love should be able to circumvent that issue and find ways to mitigate it, if it needed to be mitigated. The two parties may agree that no having children may be the best option. <strong>Some couples establish professional and personal goals as their priority and they find irresponsible to bring children into the equation if they are not going to be taken care of properly.</strong></p>\n<p>Other couples may discover that they are not the “parent-type” and would be better off without children. I think that we have all seen children whose parents behave in such a way (irresponsibly, aggressively, etc.) that makes us wish they were sterile.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fkt6sy4zq","appParentAuthor":"jaffgrah","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
