"because society" is probably among the worst reasons to have children.


The society that allows you and me to sit in comfort and post on a message board.

Yes that one. The same one with pyramid scheme social programs.

My main concern is who will pay for pensions and health care when my working generation is old?

Most social programs are insolvent or virtual ponzi schemes where CURRENT workers pay for TODAY'S beneficiaries.

Thus we need immigrants AND native babies at greater the replacement rate to insure the scheme does not stop.
