That's called 'FUD' and it drives lots of decisions. What if ... all of those are small possibilities even added up?

Instead let me ask, What if you, as a thoughtful and responsible person do not raise another thoughtful and responsible individual? And instead leave it to the thoughtless and irresponsible. We have to live with that too.

The outcome without kids is 100% up to me though. With kids, one can still raise them to the best of their abilities and still turn out awful for one reason or another.

The second part to that is a different question entirely, and one that goes beyond just one's own happiness.
