Maybe we should stop giving birth, period. No more interims stealing our jobs for minimum wage, no more schools, no more knocked up teenagers living off of welfare, and last but not least, no more annoying kids breaking windows because they can't throw properly. See? That's a lot of problems solved if nobody gives birth. We also save a lot of money as well, something that should go into something like paying down the federal debt and the military.

I don't think Americans should have babies. 36% of Americans are obese...last thing we need are more fat people.

Working at McDonalds has taught me that parents really don't give two shi-s about their kid's health. Seriously we have these like 160lb children order larger big mac meals with large chocolate shakes and a few extra mcdoubles. They then sit in the lobby and devour it all only to come back for dessert.

I would never recommend outright banning it, but people should aim to have kids between their late 20's and early/mid 30's.

What an incredibly short-sighted argument. What about replacing the aging workforce? Who is going to help support the social programs via taxation if there isn't a large enough working population?

Baller. My mom had my little sister when she was 41. No issues, and she's probably one of the smartest now 20 year olds that I know. It really is mostly chance at that point.

No idea were3 you heard that but its untrue ---Advancing maternal age. A woman's chances of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome increase with age because older eggs have a greater risk of improper chromosome division. By age 35, a woman's risk of conceiving a child with Down syndrome is 1 in 400. By age 45, the risk is 1 in 35. However, most children with Down syndrome are actually born to women under age 35 because younger women have far more babies.

What an incredible way to not understand someone was joking around :P Obviously giving birth means there are possible defects that can happen If one group should stop we might as well stop every group because you know then there would NEVER be any defects at all ;o
