[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here... I just think it’s so interesting given that everyone is replaceable at a job but to your family (again if you want one) you are not replaceable. I worked in hospice for a while and it’s really sad to see those without family upon death and in those times, careers don’t come up much.

I’m going to tell you that the day to day waiting for children who “should” love you to visit is more agonizing to the residents, knowing they are alone. Aside from that, I can’t even comment on the premise of having a child just so you won’t be alone when you’re older. [/quote]
