I prefer the "children as personal property" perspective, until some "age of majority" is reached. The parent has a social responsibility, enforced in law, to maintain and care for his property as an investment in community/society. That can be easily engineered to take care of concerns for child welfare. I object to the blind unreasoning attitude that "each and every life is precious and sacred" FUCKING BULL SHIT! I, personally, can't conceive of forcing a defective being to persist in "living". If you think life is the greatest good, you are an atheist. Those who profess other than atheism are usually hypocrites, or liars, as evidenced by the same life-is-sacred attitude they portray. Make up your fucking minds!!! If the universe is rational, we reincarnate repeatedly, so get over all the "dying" shit! Quit PRETENDING that your currently-incarnated life is the greatest good. Or come clean, and admit you only want to live as long as possible NOW; and you don't really care about anything else. Your awareness and perception is purely animalistic; so, you can be only dangerous, and nothing else. If the universe is NOT rational, then nothing ever actually ends up mattering, does it? No? Explain. Explain how anything can matter in any way if we're all "one and done"! But it's hard to be serious, and it feels like "not fun"...
