"But to purposely create children artificially, for purely selfish reasons, is nothing less than evil."
How do we know it is solely out of purely selfish reasons?
Anyone who desires a child should think of the child's welfare first. Children need a mother and father; of course, sometimes a parent may die, or desert the family. That can't be helped. But to purposely condemn a child to a fatherless existence is pure selfishness. Such a woman is having a child as an appendage to fulfill her "needs", rather than thinking what is best for the child.
If a woman really, really wants a child, she should really, really find a husband.
