[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe so many of you have taken the side that this makes sense. It's so judgmental.  I am not the same person as my mother.  I'm a competent adult with my own thoughts and values and I make my own choices.  If you're not competent enough to do the same, then you make a bad partner whether or not your parents are married or divorced. It's inane that I would be judged based on my parents' choices (and my parents aren't divorced, just saying this hypothetically).  If you judge me based on them, then good riddance to you, I dodged a bullet.

What if cancer runs in someone's family?  Would you not marry them because either your kids might get cancer on the early side, or they might get cancer and you'd become a widow/widower?  I don't agree with this either but it actually makes more sense because cancer is actually something that's genetic that you can't control.  Choices are under your control, assuming you're mentally healthy to start with.  [/quote]

I don't see so many agreeing. It is a judgement based on statistics. It's not even a huge discrepancy in statistics. Clearly people need to see others as individuals and not percentage points of likelihood to do something or not.[/quote]
