I don't see the duty of having children as something that applies to humans any more. "back in the day" it was basically "do or die"...children were necessary to sustain the human race and it wasn't uncommon for a woman to have many children for the fact that not all of them lived to adulthood. However, today...I think it's more of an option. Some people still think that it's a womans duty to have children, others don't. I personally can't imagine going through life not having a child. That's not to say I'm ready to have one now but it's something that I think of as important. But it's completely a personal decision...I don't think anyone has a right to say what others should or shouldn't do. |
