The question of whether or not to have children is controversial. If you want to have children, it's a dilemma, and if you don't, it's also a dilemma. I once had a conversation with a girl (she suffers from depression and has attempted suicide), and we got to the point where I asked her if she wanted to have children, and she said, "I don't think so. I'm scared... what if they are capable of committing suicide? Even though they don't exist yet, I don't want to bring them into this world and make them suffer."

I've had this conversation with a lot of people so I get a variety of answers. I was once told "why would I have kids?" I actually think that's a good question, having kids isn't like going to a store and buying a toy, it's a responsibility, mental, emotional, physical and financial. I think it's smart that people now have kids because they really want to and not because it's a social obligation because then it would mean that you're an "incomplete" adult, people today think about whether or not they can really carry that responsibility, some want it but can't because they don't have a solid economy, others because they're not emotionally connected to the idea, and believe me having emotional intelligence is key to having children. How many children should a family have? What the couple unanimously wants and can support emotionally, physically and financially.
