[split] Ethics - parental responsibility re: children

[Aegon]

Is it really worth rolling the dice, (by having children)? Every new person brought into this world is a person who might end up hating his/her life. Is it really worth the risk?

This question has been pondered on for a millennia. Just read up, man. There's a whole fucking religion dedicated to figuring out what suffering is and how to escape it. Check it out, may be a good fit for you.
