Question

I agree or not agree and why? *meaningful* comments (not just "I agree" but something substantive engage the ideas).

Although there have been recent events that seem to cause the collapse of civilization likely in the coming decades, I do not think that it is immoral to have children. Also, regarding reducing greenhouse gases, I do not think that people should be restricted to having less children. Procreation is a basic, fundamental right that is deeply valued and is important for the continuation of the human society. Procreation is one of the most important events in some peoples’ lives and the to cultural expectations. Some people may argue that to question someone for their procreational choices is also a morally inappropriate. To many people, bringing a child into the world causes them extreme happiness. Procreating is often seen as a lifelong project to many prospective parents and they would see limitations to their choices as inappropriate and excessively demanding. Many may argue that it is not the best choice to bring a child into a world full of chaos and uncertainty, but that ultimate decision should only be made by the parents. Trevor Hedberg states that “it is inappropriate to claim that an individual’s procreative acts cause harm in the morally relevant sense,” which I completely agree with because you will not know if that child will cause harm to others until he/she has grown up. The world in which we live in today is vastly different than what that child will live in, but there are always ways to adapt and find solutions to problems, just as today’s society has done. Procreation is our moral right and the decision to do so, during these times, should not be judged negatively.

Answer 1

Procreation is the way of extending the human generation or life .It is the sole dreams of many parents in this modern world besides any technological growth and advancement. Though a man has succeeded in all aspects of life from education, money, name, fame, etc. , they still have a great lacking if they cannot procreate or have an offspring of themselves .They feel life is incomplete without it. Moreover one cannot be restricted from external factors like green house effects or global warming, population overgrowth,suggestions by others ,etc. , to have a child. The world is a place where everyone learns from the birth till end of life .They can be shaped either into a best or worst person depending upon the environment they grow .Procreaters wants their child to be grown in a good environment and become a good human and hence try to achieve the same. Therefore the above statement of having a child is moral and can be agreed .
