If you can't or won't be responsible for yourself you shouldn't have children.
One of the problems we have is that no one want children to suffer, so , we support the parent thereby supporting the child. Seems to me it would be better if the child wasn't born. A kind of 'no foul, no harm'.
No one wants to address the problem. General thinking at this moment in 'Political Correctness' is to make sure the child has the necessities of life. Even if that means government support for the parent.
Better if the child wasn't born to begin with as generally it has a monumental battle for a good future and has a good chance of becoming part of the problem.
An idea here,,, If an unwed mother of limited means gets neutered the government could set up a program to secure for the child's future by giving it a full scholarship with paid for expenses. The child becomes a productive educated person while at the same time the child could take care of the parent when it becomes an adult instead if the parent having 3 or 4 all on welfare with no future, or worse.
OK a bit on the radical side, sparks of 'Eugenics' but I think that as a society we need to start thinking out of the box if we want the future to be a better place. What we're doing so far doesn't work and it's getting worse every day.
My dilemma is, I don't like to see an innocent child suffer.
