Having kids is a priviledge

I dont believe we automatically have the right to have kids. There are plenty people out there who are not fit to procreate but they do anyway because they can, or have the means to have it done.

Take the story about some of the world oldest mothers or fathers. Yes, I include the men, because I dont see why we should turn blind eyes when elderly men procreate but different treatment applied to elderly women. I think these people are selfish for having kids so late in their life.

Sure, in the dawn of advance medicine, there more possibilities for us human. However, we still need to be responsible using the new technology when it comes to bringing a human being to this earth. When you give birth or have kids when you are in your 60s, the chances of you are not going to see them grown up are far greater than having them even in your 40s, let alone in your 20s. It also takes tolls of you physically, and it also carries much higher risks both for the baby and the elderly mother.

If a woman wanted to get pregnant in their 60s, she most definitely needed an eggs donor. If she was single, like some of the oldest mothers around, she also needs a sperm donor. And this part is where I dont understand. With all these orphans and unwanted children in the world who needs love & family, why dont they just adopt? Because the way I see it, they also dont have any genetically link to you any way. Why throw away the money for rounds of IVF treatments that wont always have a good result at that stage of life when you can use it to raise one of the kids as your own?

Kids are not accessories that we can have just because we decided it's time to have them.

I strongly believe, we need to put the children's future welfare first, before saying that it's our right to have a child.
