Default Re: The murder of children in AC land

[ QUOTE ]
There's also no reason for an individual to have children, if you go by capitalist principles. Why give birth to someone, raise them, teach them, etc, when you can hire someone off the street to do a job and teach them the job much quicker. While it's in the interest of society to have children, so as to continue the race and provide future labor, this is not the case for the individual.

this is so wrong its disgusting. you aren't considering people's utility functions.

guess what? many (most?) people want kids! at least at some point in their lives. they get utility from having children.



on another note. the OP is completely wrong too. but ill let others elaborate on that one.
