[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pets have become the new children and fill a gap for many people. I've seen more prescription drug advertisements for pets then ever this year. Clearly people are caring for them and willing to spend money on them like they are children. But unlike children you don't have to worry about daycare or college tuition. [/quote]

Or heirs or anyone being at your bedside while you die of cancer or old age. Dream big.[/quote]

Nobody will be with you when you are passing away. Americans are terrified of death. If you are in the US, there is a high probability that you will be surrounded by strangers, heavily medicated, after years of dementia and tube feeding. [/quote]

My father had all of us at his bedside. But you're free to say whatever helps you cope with your loneliness and the fact you're a genetic dead-end who will never understand what it's like to give birth and be a parent and watch children and grandchildren grow.[/quote]

I have two boys. 99% of people die in the hospital or hospice, ALONE - my DC1 is a resident and sees it all the time. Family barely visits in assisted living. Don't have kids because you are afraid of death and, unless you are related to Gisele or Lawrence Bragg (he was kind of hot too) don't talk about the genetic dead end. [/quote]
