It's crazy to think about society determining who is suited for having children and who is not. It does not seem like society's place but then reading about how much of a say communities tried to have, or in some cases did have, made it seem like it was rather normal in some societies in the nineteenth century. Procreation is a very private decision among the family itself and it's kind of shocking how public this sacred decision is becoming. With all of the technology and medical advancements we have today the decision to have children is a much more public decision. -Kelly W. | It's crazy to think about society determining who is suited for having children and who is not.

| + | One thing that really struck me in the preface is how emotionally charged this issue was for all the people who answered the author's query. On all sides of the issues people used such strong language, like the one woman complaining about all the "breeder propaganda" in the media. I was most surprised by people like her who were vehemently against having children in general. There is a difference between "that's not right for me" and "why is this breeder propaganda everywhere!?" This attitude surprised me because it is not one that I hear very often. -- Rebecca | ||
