Topic: Is procreation really necessary? (Read 358 times)

That's correct, for the existence of human being to continue, procreation has to keep going, although the economy of the country might be rough but we have to procreate for the benefits of others, because it's not everyone who love or would like to adopt a child from the orphanage homes.

They will rather help them in a way they can, than adopting them because you don't know the kind of child you are adopting, if they will be of use to you or if they will love you as their own but to those who can't adopt, should give birth to the ones they can be able to train rather than dumping some in a waste bin, keeping the load for someone to take care of the child, that is why it's advisable to have sex with protection, to prevent unwanted pregnancy etc.

It is very sad and heartbreaking that you have been betrayed by your blood people and I am sorry from the bottom of my heart. What I have said is completely considering our family and my surrounding environment, which shows my indiscretion. But I have seen around me and in my family that when there is discord between them, if the other side tries to harm them, they come together to deal with it. Husband and wife can betray each other and it exists in my area but husband and wife are not related by blood.

If you can educate irresponsible people that are having sex all over the society to give birth to children they cannot take care of in the society, I guess it will reduce suffering from the life of children who their parents cannot feed to their satisfaction.

Since the law enter China country, it has made their men and women not to go after sex the way they use to do it in the past to give birth to children they don't have the resources to take care of in the society, but since the law has be put into action, it has reduced the population of children  from the country.

Some of the countries that is experiencing insecurity today, those are some of the things that is causing the insecurity in their land because the children will be ready to join bad guys to do the evil in the society.

I don't totally agree with what you said about one's blood not capable of betrayal but it is a false assertion because I have been a  witness and a victim to betrayal by my own blood because when we are talking about one's blood we are talking about those within the circle of a nuclear family like father, mother and their offsprings. In the ancient days i can agree that it was difficult for family members (by blood) to betray one another but in this modern age now I doubt it because wife betrays husband and vise versa, children betrays parents and vice versa so that's the truth now because almost everyone are self centered now, people think more about themselves before anyone else despite the intimacy between them.

Your right bro, but this is a very big community and I believe some other countries have already put laws against having having many children like in China and some other counties, but now we also have to look at the irresponsibility of individuals that just engage in sex and get a girl pregnant when when know they are not ready to take care of that child or even give birth tonmore children than their finance can handle and later on this children might be forced to steal to eat or go through the worse parts of live to survive all because their parents Couldn't control themselves.

The underlying truth that emerges from your statement is that ones blood is ones heir. Everything in the world can betray us but ones own blood or heritage will never do it or allow anything that harms you or me. And it is also true that humans marry to increase their progeny for reproduction. If there were no need for reproduction there are many couples who are unable to produce children and would not form another pair.

That must be one of these things on the mind of two people who decide to have children. Come on love, we have to make children because otherwise the human race will cease to exist.
When she's in labor the father stands beside her and whispers in her ear - be strong, you're pushing out the future of our planet. Do it for the world!



Do you think women don't enjoy these attempts?

Procreation is very necessary in order to allow continuation of each family. Perhaps, we wouldn't have been here talking about this if this particular idea should be considered and the world would have long ended due to absence of people to continue with the generation. There's a different feeling raising your own children and raising an adopted child. If we are to start practicing this idea, it will create room for unnecessary and irresponsible procreation since these irresponsible parents already know that people out there will come to adopt them some days.


There's no much we can do about it and it can't stop someone from having their child just because we have unkempt children out there. The little you can do as an individual is to support them with monetary or food items. Government and the rest of us have a role to play to stop or minimize this in our society by creating awareness and urge people to be a responsible parent or better still control their sexual urge if they are not capable to cater for the generation they are creating.

For the ones already on the street, government is in the best position to help them. I remember some years back in my country, government built schools strictly for the children roaming on the street with their feeding, clothing and shelter being taken care of by the government. I don't know if the program is still functioning but program like that is a good move to help these children and make them have a sense of belonging.

Procreation is quite necessary dear, @Cryptoprincess101, it is very true that things are very hard, and the society is filled with less privileged children who are helpless and have no one to take care of them or shelter them.

I don't really know your gender but from your username i guess you are woman and how will you feel if you are married, and you have no child to be called your own and when your husband insist of you giving him a child you will tell him that there are so many children in the street that you will prefer to adopt one child or two instead of giving birth to your own child. i guess with this the marriage will end the next day because one of the major reasons of marriage is for childbearing (procreation).

Adoption is quite nice to assist the less privileged ones in the society and also to help reduce the rate of poverty and crime in the society, but there is always need for reproduction because your blood is your own blood. there are virtually so many ways to help the less privileged children grow in the society, you can help establish NGO foundation only for the less privileged children in the society, you can build schools for orphans, you can be a regular visitor to motherless baby's home , you can also build mini estates for the less privileged children for their shelter and many more other things that you can do to assist them. But in all reproduction is inevitable.

A very humane post you have written. Every man wants his descendants to live on earth. If you don't have children, you may no longer have the will to live as a human being, no matter what society or country you live in and no matter how many children you adopt. But nowadays people have become more aware so now they don't give birth unplanned except in some states. No matter where you or I live we can do whatever we can for those street children. At least we can give them literacy and show empathic behavior.

The balance of mankind or creation is maintained on earth through reproduction.  Reproduction is very important for the survival of humans or other animals.  But there is definitely a legitimate way to breed.  When parents desire a child in the world, parents have to fulfill many responsibilities till raising them.  Parents must be well-planned to bring children into the world and must be conscious enough to raise them.  Because due to lack of awareness many potential children can go down bad path.  Many others illegally have children for temporary happiness and later put them on the streets.  Those children put on the streets have to suffer indescribable pain.  They don't get to eat two meals, stay away from being human.  Even nobody wants to adopt them because they remain anonymous. Strong laws should be made against illegal breeding.  And if the financially poor people adopting the legal route have more than one child, if they want to adopt then those who do not have children can adopt.   I think adoption is a noble act.  And in order to carry out these great works, there needs to be some institution that will fulfill the responsibility of educating children in these ways.  Also those who are economically well off should also come forward.

Procreation is necessary and important, without it, the world's population will be declining and because of death that is inevitable, in the far future, the human race can go extinct. I believe that couples should give birth to the number of children that they can take care of, problems arises when partners choose to be irresponsible and have unprotected sex, and bring children into the world that they're not ready to take care of, and couples who think that having many children is an achievement, especially when they don't have the money to take care of many children. If poor people can have fewer children, then there won't more destitute children on the streets.

Ironically, the world and the mother nature as we know it would do even better if there were fewer human beings inhabiting this planet, the reasons are pretty much obvious at the point. The more human beings there are around, more resources are necessary to keep them all well fed, alive and living in humane conditions, as anyone should. Those resources are got through the exploitation of nature, mining, deforestation, oil drilling, the burning of fossil fuels, among others.
If the world population started to decrease through the years, it would be translated to the planet slowly beginning a process of healing and transformation to what it used to be before the first industrial revolution in Europe: Cleaner air, no global climate change, no smog, more fish in the oceans, you name it.

In the eyes of the planet and nature, humankind is some foreign agent which only caused disequilibrium and chaos to a system which used to be perfectly balanced and functioning. I am not saying I am advocating for the destruction of humankind, but we also need to be clear there are several points of views when comes to the number of human beings on this world and the consequences it can have on the rest of this rock we call home.

Does it means that the world will not come to an end someday and people will no longer give birth anymore? Because if we keep thinking about continuation of human race that means we are also saying that the world will be without end.

Yes it is natural for a child to grow up and want to know who their real parents are more especially the ones that have little knowledge about themselves before they were adopted but there is nothing wrong in a child identifying with their Real parents after you must have taken care of them and even if you have children and you are financially capable you can still adopt other children and take care of them. But there is still need to control birth in our society so that we don't end up having too many vulnerable children.

Smile , I don’t even know what to say about this post because it looks like you didn’t sit down and think about this post very much, go to an orphanage to adopt? I don’t think that is a good idea for anyone, no one prays to adopt a child to raise, can you also adopt a child after you get married? If you can then that’s your choice, we are all born through our parents and also pray to give birth the same way our parents did to have us, have you ever seen where a married couple went to church, mosque and other religious rituals just to have a child? Giving birth to your child is the best thing that everyone is praying for and you will see that many marriages have ended all in the name of no child.

Talking about orphans, they are also given birth by someone but it’s a condition or let me say god wishes that make them orphans, the only thing that can help the orphans is the government and those who don’t have a child and go to adopt, I don’t think you are getting my point but you can try it after you get married and don’t plan to have a child maybe your marriage will last long, I did not say this to make you feel somehow but just to make you understand what it means to have a child.

You are correct but procreation is just to fulfill the scripture and can also serve as help to us and to the society if brought up properly, although not to have more than 2 or 3 due to hight cost of things like housing just as you mentioned, even foods, clothing etc, life is becoming tougher for people to get along with and this can only be harder for us even we are not doing anything about it, that is getting ourselves employ either working for someone or by self employed through the means of acquiring skills, so that they won't suffer or finding it difficult to give them the necessary care.

Op if you think that procreation is wrong, then I believe we should avoid having partners in our life. Wait would you be able to ask your partner this same question? I don't think that kind of decision will be considered because everyone hopes to be a parent someday. The orphans are not as suffering as you think, I don't know about your country, but in mine, wealthy people donate to the orphanage every year, so they are not hungry. However, I think this topic did not go directly, I think you should explain that many orphanages are in need, suffering on the street to get what they can eat, and many people are still giving birth to as many children as they want, and that we must practice family planning because if we are no more tomorrow, who will take care of our children?

Will you take care of someone's child that you do not know about their parents? To me, that can't be possible. How can some people decide not to reproduce? All they can think of is adopting a child, that doesn't seem cool to me, except that God does not bless them with a child and they choose to adopt one. However, someone who is capable of giving birth should not consider adopting a child. Even if you, as parents will not not take care of him as the child you give birth to, things will be different. Op reproduction does not begin with our generation and will not end here, we will continue with it.

Is procreation really necessary?


With all the attempted procreation - sexual intercourse - going on, I would guess that some people think it necessary.

Op procreation is necessary but is good to be control my government but I will say it very difficult to control even in a nation like ours where many different culture exist that prohibited such control, for me I think once there is established laws to such control it will be followed, many of our cities are filled up with orphans and all sort of homeless being looking for help, even the government can't solve there problem this is as a result of over population.

Though government is trying to initiate the so called family planing but it's not effective because of religion beliefs of not being good to prevent production or birth given but if there is law it will be adopted rightly, procreation is very important but it should be within a controllable situation, example one man will bear 29 children's, it's very unwise I remember in time past were China did birth control many developed nations did because of this sort of situation of many helpless people in the society and Nation.

It isn’t easy to adopt children. I’m not just talking about the procedure but having someone who isn’t related to you in anyway. For some, they don’t mind. And for most, they don’t really like it. However, the simple solution is family planning. I don’t know if we humans don’t see the importance of family planning, but it important to know how many kids you want, and make provisions for them even before they are born. There shouldn’t be no rush. It’s best to use 3 years to prepare and then birth the child than to birth them in the first year and then struggle to raise them.
