Is Human Reproduction Un-Ethical?

[Mister Agenda]

The assumption being that because it has been so, it will continue to be, without exception?

Do you think that 'statistically insignificant' means 'without exception'?

The likelihood of ethical people behaving unethically is a practical guarantee.  I'm not sure any person on the forums could claim to be 100% ethical 100% of the time.

I find it interesting that more than one person seems to have interpreted that as a claim that ethical people are 100% ethical and act ethically 100% of the time.

On a side note: There are millions of children in orphanages or foster care. Their suffering can be eased by ethical people adopting them. If you would be a fit parent and are qualified to adopt and so concerned with the quality of life for children that you think no one should have any lest they suffer, I think a moral obligation to do more for suffering children than not having any of your own is implied. As a bonus, one can try (gently) to raise your adopted children with your own ethics, possibly preventing them from reproducing themselves, and thus hastening the glorious day of human extinction.
