Although your comment was intended to insult me, you happened to touch on one of the several reasons that I chose to not have children: my family's genetic heritage. There are some cases of mental retardation, but most importantly, the medical problems, especially on the male side, stand out.
I can find no instance of any male relative who lived beyond age 70; they all died of stroke or heart attacks. Many suffered from diabetes, too.
I have already had a heart attack and triple by-pass surgery. I am now 65 1/2. What do you think my longevity prospects look like?
No, I wouldn't want to pass these genes on to any poor unsuspecting soul.
having children is not a selfish thing, but NOT having children is just this reason why our government is allowing unchecked immigration. welcome our replacement population,
my next door neighbor, who died recently, 78 years old, was robbed, and stolen her earthly belongings by immigrant people she befriended. I tried to help her, but by the time she ended up passing on, she left her home to the indian taxi cab driver, the handi man who took her for $13,000.00 and a gay guatemalan man she took into her home. She died a pauper. I guess befitting for someone who had no children. They only befriended her for what she had.
Just good luck to you. Here in Los Angeles, we are swimming with these opportunists who are ready to take all of what we have worked for.
