Is fertility an opportunity to make the world a better place?

WOW, I see your point.... then people wouldn't NEED to adopt to fill 'that spot', but maybe there would be few people willing to adopt kids who do need it. If people wanted a baby, they could make one and if a newborn is in need of a good home, there would still be plenty of people who can have kids, who don't NEED a baby but willing to adopt one.

I vote for reproductive choices. Free BC for all no matter how remote and poor....Show more

No, because if that was the case there wouldn't be a need today, now right this minute for fostering children, permenant care outside of the biological family or any form of adoption no matter how ethically its done. The world doesn't get better through babies being born it becames better because of the way people conduct themselves on a daily basis and what they're prepared to do to get what they want.

Its sad to say that no all women want to parent their baby even in countries with an approach to family preservation, single parent support including housing.
If I was fertile (actually thats yet to be proven I'm not, since doctors can't understand why in my case its not working, but you know I don't really care these days.) The only difference would be was that I'd have two kids (biologically.) They'd be teenagers by now and we'd be looking into foster care or permanent care to adoption for kids that need a home. That was the plan all along. (But you know plans can change, and ours was altered, so we have no regrets about it.) The difference is we'll be talking to our two children through adoption when they're teenagers and seeing how they feel about us fostering children in about 12yrs time.

BTW- Most of the foster parents I know personally do have at least one biological child. But the thing is they had long term infertity issues first. (long term I mean 8-12yrs.) Then they became foster parents anyway (and some foster-adoption, since it was found the child actually wanted to be adopted as she grew up.) because in that time they saw that children outside of their family needed homes. So its not all bad to not be able to reproduce....Show more

Well fertility is necessary for the survival of our species, that's for sure. As for making the world a better place, that's down to our individual actions. I try to do the right thing by others, I treat others the way I wish to be treated and I am always prepared to lend someone a hand if they need it.

I'm fertile but don't use it, so I can't say it's my fertility making things better for others. Hopefully I raise the children I've been entrusted with to be emotionally healthy people who contribute to society in a positive way. I think I'll be happy with that contribution to the world.

I think the world will continue to turn even without my genetic contribution. :)

EDIT: The other question was beyond stupid....Show more

Existing is a chance to make a world a better place. Whether that existence is able to bear children or not is irrelevant. Fertility is a chance to carry on ones species, although you never know how your offspring will contribute to said species....Show more

I suppose breeding excessive amount of children to add to our future tax base, thus increasing social services is a great thing. Go ahead, have two, three, six, eight!

Other than that um, fertility has nothing to do with making the world a better place....Show more
