   Why Mary, I didn't think that you would feel this way.  Those that might or will be born could be our ticket to the end of all this stuff that we have to learn.  They could be the next visionaries of the future that may be a whole lot brighter.  They may be the next generation to bring about the end of cancer or the commeon cold or any other medical improvements.  The age of computers and rovots and drones is a fast changing technology.  Just look at the 50 years prior to today when we have cassette and 8 track tapes, slow computers to hyperfast and the ability to talk and learn about other parts of the world beyond our small world that we live in on a daily basis.  100 years ago thre was no such thing as air travel for citizens,
   100 years there were no mechanical devices to help people walk and no technology that allows surgeon's to operate on a baby before it is even born. 
   Can't you just imagine what is going to be done just 10 years from now.  I can't but it is going to be a wild ride for sure!

   Now is the time to teach old fashioned morals to the upcoming generation. The world will only get uglier if we don't. I don't think parents who TRULY want to be parents and give all that means, should be denied having a family. Family life instills the good in people.
   
   We need more good in the world. It begins with each upcoming generation. I already see young people being concerned about the environment and wanting to restore what our generation destroyed.
   
   Yeah, there are plenty of women who give birth accidentally or because they're too drugged up to give a damn or want a free governmental ride, but there are plenty others who want to make this world a better place.
   
   We can only do that with what time we have left as individuals, and birthing a new generation who carries on our legacy.

   I agree with Nichol. If one waits for an "uncrazy" time then no one would have babies. Maybe there is a lot of crazy news, but quality of life is better now than 100 years ago. If you don't believe me, just read "The Jungle".  We are healthier and living longer. We make higher wages and at least there is a middle class, which there wasn't much of one before WWII. I would take now days over any other time in the world. We are learning how to eat healthier and live healthier. Crime is down, though crazy shi..stuff seems to be going up.
   
   I have a fantastic wife and two great boys, all of whom are my best friends. Heck, even my dog is awesome, so I cannot complain. I am in a place that jihadists cannot get me so I don't worry about them and I am pretty sure they don't worry about me.

    Why not now, Mary? I empathise with your views but there has always been problems, even in Roman times. They are just more subtle or refined now. The age-old spiritual question remains and we are in fact evolving. Nothing stays the same.
    
    All is reflected in Consciousness or Vibrations, if you like. A Saint will bring up a child in a saintly way. If one has suffered toil and turmoil in the hands of parents, then there is every chance that the cycle could repeat itself.
    
    There are always internal and external forces, and the Divine is still in charge. Some children come into this world with good potential, and others remain the victims of destiny, unless, through Grace, the cycle can be broken.
    
    This Earth is the field of manifestation, and all Souls, new and old, must learn life's lessons here. Still, things can appear gloomy, and I repeat that I empathise. Remain an eternal optimist, if you can. Much Love.

    If you believe the world to be crazy, the soul who chooses to inhabit your child will be seeking a crazy world. They will, at first, expect you to be crazy for them.

    The world has always been a crazy place, you only have to take a look back into the not so distant past where people were publicly hanged or beheaded. I think on the whole people were far more barbaric back then, but it never stopped people from bringing children into the world.
    Don't forget that families were also much bigger back then partly because infant mortality was high due to poor sanitation. we have much better hygiene practices and medicine has come a long way in keeping people alive longer.
    We will never live in a perfect world, but I do believe that steady progress is being made and each generation brings positive changes.
    To answer your question Mary, I think now is as good a time as any to bring a baby into the world. Children need lots of love and nurturing, the rest will take care of itself. have faith.

    Every period of human history has been crazy. Yes everything seems to be getting more intense. But not having children isn't a logical answer. If my ancestors had decided not to bring new life into the world during the antebellum period, I wouldn't exist. Likewise, I'm sure someone in your family tree had real struggles as well, but you're here.

    I am struggling with this as well.  I thought I wanted to have children at one point in my life, but now the thought terrifies me.  I see children and teenagers coming in the practice I work in daily and the attitude has changed dramatically.  Children are raised by phones and tablets now instead of parents being parents.  I don't worry about how I would raise a child, but I worry about how others would impact him or her.  How do you protect your child from clicks on the internet?  With cyber-bullying becoming stronger and children becoming more over-sexualized with "role models" like Miley Cyrus and Rhianna (just to name a couple), there is no telling what the future will look like.  I am constantly reminded of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible, but I feel this is worse.  They didn't have the internet to spread their immoral beliefs in the way people do now.  Let's not forget the over-medicated population going crazy, like SSRI abuse (something many modern day mass murders have in common, aside from weapons).  I get depressed thinking about the future that child would had.  What opportunities will there be?

    Knowing that we live in a time of massive climate change based on the consumption of goods and "economic growth" it is not a good idea to choose for children. To have children is in a way the worst thing to do if you look at it from a moral point of view.
    But it depends a lot on the upbring. At the moment consumerism is a disastrous thing for our planet. So for the future of the parents and the children, living as green as possible is a must. Recycle things (cloth, plastic bottles , solar panals, etc.) don't buy constantly new electronic stuff, even if you can afford it. Take the bike if you can instead of the car or public transport.
    
    I dont have children, but not because of these reasons. I think we should be optimistic but change our attitude towards economics.
    "economic growth" is a disaster and not necessary.  And we should change our attitude towards nature and the resources. It's a popular phrase but we def. have to "think green" otherwise the climate change of the earth will have deep consequences for the rich and poor alike.
    If we can teach our children to follow this path the human race can build a great future. But as said it will be radically different then the neo-conservative so called "free market" politics want.
    And we have to do it our own way, not the FOX tv way.
    bit by bit,  buy local. buy fruits from the season. buy organic. It's healthier and better for the local economy. Support your village/city if you can, not the big shots who produces in a foreign country because they can use slave labour like NIKE or NESTLE.

    I do completely agree with you, our society today is aggressive, selfish and unpredictable. But, with that being said our society does not raise your child. Yes, the will be surrounded by all these good and bad things, but as a parent it's how you address it. If you don't want your child to be exposed highly to technology at a young age, then don't have them exposed to it. Many of the toxic qualified our world has today can be blocked off from a child's knowledge. They will eventually learn the troubles of termism, economy crashes and a constant president change but by that age they will be educated and mature enough to let it sink in. If anyone waited for our world to get "less crazy" one would never have enough time to produce a child. Our world is a crazy place, but the child is a direct reflection of their parents.

    Not so much for thinking that the world is a horrible, "crazy" place - it always has been. But I do believe the pressures and stresses placed on parents and children, at least in Western culture/society these days, have become so incredibly difficult and burdensome. I can't imagine trying to be a parent today when, for instance, a "concerned" neighbor might report me to the police if I dared let my child walk down the block without supervision. (Helicopter vs. free-range parenting). When college tuition prices are so out of control. When parents feel the need to plaster photos of their kids and personal information publicly all over the internet/facebook...when kids are dealing with higher than ever levels of bullying, pressure to grow up quickly, losing themselves into ipads and video games before they are even out of the crub. That disturbs me, and when I see some of my peers with children these days who have to deal with all of these pressures I don't know how they do it. And what this next generation is going to end up being like.

    I wouldn't hesitate to bring a new life into this world, as long as I was in a position to spend time raising that baby. I feel like I was put on this earth to make this a better place to live in and that's the way I'm raising my 16 year old. This can only be done via examples and real life discussions. For this to happen, I need to be active in her life and she needs to see that I "Walk the walk" and not jus t"Talk the talk".
    if I work so much that someone else is raising my child, then why bring a child into the world?

    Yes. World during its past or present or future, gave/giving/will give its level of challenge to all of us lived/living/live at that point in time. If we have to wait for a good time to bring a baby into the world, we will be keep waiting for a good time. More than just bringing the baby, better to guide them with good deeds and teach them in helping the society or people who are in need of help. More depends on the way we teach them. There is a oldest saying in India that, one should posses a 'Yogic body and Vedic mind' to lead a good , healthy, happy life and a mandatory responsibility to serve/help the society. I would grow my kid towards my kid as well.

       Ravi, you are so right....parents don't seem to be teaching their children good moral values anymore.  They depend too much on the TV and video games to "teach" their children!

    First of all, we need to clarify what gives us the right to have children?  Is the right god-given, biological, or is it utilitarian?  By Christian and biological reasoning, we should produce as many children as possible.  However, it seems you are looking towards a utilitarian approach.  In other words, I will rephrase your question as: would it promote everyone's overall general happiness to bring a baby into the world right now?
    
    I am having a child in about a month and I have considered this question a lot.  My answer is that we can never know if it is a good time to have a baby.  We cannot know how our children will turn out and how this world will treat them.  But, according to terror management theory, having a baby gives your life meaning and thus helps you to ignore the fact that you will die.  So, if you are looking for personal happiness, I would say it is a good time to have a baby.

       Congratulations Chase. While my daughter makes me happy and gives my life meaning; we need to be careful of thinking a child is going to give us personal happiness. Too many teenage girls make that mistake. We need to already be happy inside.

       Chase, congrats on having a baby in your life.  I just had two brand new Great Granchildren,and I will love and cherish them all the rest of my life.  The parents of these babies plan their births.

    Parents plan to have childrens. It is a life time commitment. When parents have the money to be financially responsable for their children. Anytime is good to have children. There are private school and a good exclusive neighborhood.  For others who are not ready. It is always a bad time.

       I agree with having a child is a life-time commitment . However, I disagree with financially responsible being a need for private schools or exclusive neighborhoods. There are plenty of good public schools in safe neighborhoods.

       Yes, I agree with you about public schools. The private schools are for people who do not like public schools. The food is easier to find in modern times or the old ways. Anytime is good for some people. I like your comment.

       Private school and exclusive neighborhood aren't necessary.
       
       That's a rather elitist way of thinking.
