Greetings!
Child bearing is an act of man and those children are the inheritance of God as quoted by the Holy Bible. Children are the gift from God and we as their custodians are meant to take good care of them as their parents and guardians.
Having talked about children as gifts from God Almighty and parenthood, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt which is all about, “Ethics of childbirth.”
One thing that I believe would not stop anytime is giving birth to children and this because of the commandments of God about procreation. Ever since God has commanded us to procreate, humans have been giving birth to children and there's nothing that would stop people from procreating as everyone would always want to have a kid or kids to themselves no matter what is going on around them.
The goings around the world to me can never be strong enough to stop people from bringing kids to this world, although, it might to some certain extent reduce the rate at which people gives birth, but I'm telling us that this would not affect the mortality rate to the extent that people would decide to stop giving birth.
Back to the content of the prompt, I would say even with all that's going on around the world, it still ethical to bring kids to the works and this is just because whenever the people that are living in the planet decide to stop bringing their offspring or their image or look alike in the person of their kids to this planet earth, that's when this earth ceased to be called earth and aside from this, humans would just go into extinction and what this would mean is that, humans would be no longer be.
So, that's why I'm saying that, nothing in this world being it was, crises, disaster, selfishness, greediness, can stop people from bringing their kids to this world.
To me it's ethical to give birth no matter what situation might present itself to us. However, one thing that must be done and that I know people are currently doing is that, our people should not just be given birth as it was in the past when a mother can give birth to as many as dozens of children. Well, even in this regards, I have seen people giving birth to a child and at the maximum, two children and this is not because of anything else, but because of the ongoings in the world which as to do with wars, insecurity, selfishness, corruption, greediness just to mention but a few. So, people now give birth to what they can only take care of and this has really helped in keeping the world going even in the midst of all the challenges facing the world at large.
In conclusion, it's ethical to bring and give birth to children in this world where everything has turned upside down, but while doing so, we must be considerate in knowing the numbers of kids that would not be affected by the menace of this world.
