why should we allow people over forty to have children?

If incest is illegal because of the genetic diseases it can cause to the offsprings, then we should also ban any sexual intercourse between fertile people that are 40 or older.

just try

Much more common than 40+ parents, is young parents who are diseased with obesity, or moms who smoke and drink before/during pregnancy. The sperm and ovum are less than healthy, and kids of obese mothers can show problems throughout life.

so try to stop all those behaviors.

halle berry gave birth to her first (and by far the only) baby at age 42 something. the effect of aging may vary considerably from people to people and it wouldn't be fair to apply the same standard to everyone imho. even the 47yr old halle still trumps most of the nation's young bitches tbh

a bitch doesn't wear her pussy on her face but a bitch's look is a fair reflection of her age imho. just like the old proverb tells, a bitch is as old as she looks while a man is as old as he thinks. even a 47yr old berry still looks better than most sub-30 yr old bitches in this nation and i think giving birth to a baby at age 42 ain't too late for her imho

Is this another liberal hate-fest thread?

that's their gamble - not ours. theyll be the ones stuck with the parenting - not us.

not true at all. kids born with genetic defects often need very expensive care throughout their lives, special education, etc. Those costs spread across insurance companies or tax payers.

I'M okay with women having children when they are old, but if incest is prohibited because of the higher possibilities of a genetic condition, we should prohibit this.

What a dumbass argument, tbh.... a democratic-republican government such as ours has no business dictating what we can and can't do with our own bodies, and quite frankly, if you're stupid enough to have kids at an advanced age, you have to deal with the consequences...

I think the point is that we all deal with the consequences. I also believe that the OP is a toungue in cheek reference to someone like WC and his "hands off libertarian :cry " suggestion that the government be allowed to sterilize its population. Viewed through that lens, that WC commented in the thread is delicious.

If I am completely wrong and the OP is serious then let's all point and laugh.

That's what I'm saying retard piece of shit. #justiceforsamefamilycouples motherfucker!!!

a much bigger problem is that people have less kids now and old people live a lot more. As medicine continues to develop, the richer will continue to live longer and society will stagnate. Pull the plug on them by age 100!

it ain't bothering me anyway. I've banned sex on me for lifelong since before I grew any hair on my pubes
