[quote=Anonymous]This is such a personal decision that no one can or should really tell you what's right. However, I'm gonna kind of do just that. I would say that if your criteria for bringing another life into this world is to have a playmate for 1, or someone to care for him when you are too old/die, then don't. That is selfish. It is a burden on #2 that he/she had no opportunity to choose or not. Have number 2 because YOU want that child and have the resources and commitment to do it operating under the assumption of worst case scenario for number 1 (can't walk, talk, live independently). If you cannot make that decision now, then don't. Even if you are about to become "too old" to reproduce, don't make it. There are alternatives if that's the case if you decide later you can handle it and do want it very much. [/quote]
