I would have said that is probably the worst that could happen, but it is not. As if health challenges is not bad enough, what about the rising spate of crimes, no one is safe anymore. The pattern at which we walk on the street these days, it is like a vigilante on duty, because humans are no longer safe around humans. Friends and families can no longer trust each other, trust as become a tool in the hands of the wicked.
Innocent people getting killed on the street; in their homes. Children and adults are getting kidnapped, violated and sold like properties. Some have even taken it as a business to harvest their fellow humans organs and trade it illegally. Everything now have a price, as long as you have enough funds, anyone can buy anything.
The weapons we create is slowly becoming a means of our extinction, a weapon fashioned against us. War is looming at every corner, like hell is desperate to break loose. Countries are battling each other like titans for power, domination and resources. Innocent people getting caught in the crossfire and getting blasted to pieces like rodent stepping on landmines.
Considering all that going on simultaneously, is it ethical to still wish to bring a child into this world? sincerely speaking I really don't know. Despite the ongoing hullabaloo, we still have to contend with society demands. I remember the first time I told my parents that marriage is a choice, the look on their face felt like I was denying them the opportunity to have grandchildren. It wasn't funny, infact the conversation quickly took a weird and emotional turn, I never tried to revisit that conversation ever again.
