Atheism and Hope

[robvalue]

Also, you can make the choice not to have children, for whatever reason, without basing your whole morality on "Darwinism". I don't want to pass on my vulnerability for depression, which affects virtually everyone in my family, or either of my chronic health conditions. If I'm going to care for a child, it will be one of the millions already here that need a home. I wouldn't even want to bring a healthy child into this world, because I think it's a horrible place.

But just because I don't want to create a life which can suffer so much, it doesn't mean I have to go around killing people who I consider to be weak to the species. I want everyone who is already here to be as happy as possible. Our goal (to me) is to be happy, not to become some uber race of superfit scientist warriors athletes.
