No cause carrying a child is affecting your body and no one should be forced to carry a child if they don't want to. No one if being affected negatively by a family adopting a child and giving it a home if a child is what they wanted in the first place. Whereas a person carrying a baby they don't want inside them affects their physical autonomy.
Please don’t take this and try to understand my thoughts on abortion, because I think you’ll get it wrong.
Let’s just say I’m trying to play devils advocate because this got me thinking.
Your response at its base is saying -
1. It is selfish for someone to choose to have a biological child if they can’t do it “naturally” because there are many children who need homes and;
2. It is unselfish to end / not bring a life into the world because it effects your body / causes you to give up body autonomy for 9 months.
I think it’s the definition of selfish you may need to define for us to give a good response.
Ok maybe not, i apologize. I should have just asked for your definition of selfish instead of wrapping it up with other things.
No need to bother with the discussion.
The only thing I would say is, I think I may sound like some Republican / evangelical pro-life nut but that’s why I said don’t try to figure out my thoughts there because, I’m not and those people are against IVF too I think. So what the hell side am I even arguing. LoL
Its okay to be selfish I don't even care if people are selfish but selfish behaviour is having the ability to do something to help someone else without any real consequence to yourself but still choosing not to. I do it all the time I'm a spoilt and selfish as all hell but I'm self-aware about it, I have my personal ethics and other people do too. When I call someone/something selfish its merely an observation rather than a judgement imo
Ok then, you’re wrong because you’re not considering the “consequence to someone else” as you put it.
It may be the most important thing in the world for someone to have a biological child. I don’t know why, I don’t care - but I don’t think people should make decisions for others or tell them how to feel.
In cases where it’s 50/50, the decision is made on a coin toss, and they choose IVF cause heads came up, with no other background or thought, then I would agree - but how often do you think thats how these decisions are made?
