One of the risks is that you ruin the kid's life. If someone is on the fence about having kids, then they shouldn't. It shouldn't be something they're pressured into by friends/family/significant other/the public at large.
I can’t agree with that, though I get where you’re coming from because I used to think the same way. I don’t think there’s that much of a risk of ruining a kid’s life unless you are a pretty serious screwup. Raising a child is hard work, but there’s no mystery to it and just about anyone can manage it if they put in the work. If someone isn’t responsible enough to raise a child, then I have to wonder what they are responsible enough for.
And I don’t know anyone who wasn’t at least nervous about the responsibility of having a kid, but I also don’t know anyone who regrets having them.
It’s kind of hard to have a civilization if there’s no future, and it’s kind of hard to have a future if there are no children. I don’t think a little pressure to contribute is inappropriate.
