That is disengenuous and you know it.
The chances of birth defect is SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER -- this study even says so (the same is true for much older people creating kids).
It wasn't YOUR dice you were rolling. It was someone else's.
My anaylsis is apt,. my personal decisions notithstanding. Like I said, when I was adjudged shooting blanks, I saw the handwriting on the wall and decided that making another me wasn't that important. I looked at the data of the time and decided that creating a child who had a high probability to have a defect would be a bad thing to do.
I am sure you love your kids -- but you may have already condemnded them or their children to problems down the road. On purpose. For no other reason than because you wanted to make another you.
That is why I will pray for them.
Once again you choose to judge my actions as if you know my heart and mind. Thanks for the prayer chain.
By your reasoning, I was more immoral having a baby at forty than I was at twenty-six. And people who had babies in the old days, or have them in Kenya now, are more immoral than those who have them today in first world countries.
I am not endorsing IVF, but your reasoning is insufficient to condemn it.
