What a useless statement lmao
Agreed, particularly given the recipient - but you never know. As soon as we posit that there's some ethical obligation to children vis-a-vis the relative terribleness of the world (vague and unspecified as it is), we've asserted that any moral agent capable of influencing that situation is responsible, in some sense, for it. This wouldn't start and stop with parents and be a one sided demand that the world be better -for us- by the labor of others.
Now, if we don't believe in such a responsibility or in the mere possibility of improvement, it makes no sense - granted... but we've foreclosed on that objection by asserting such an obligation in the first place.
