I can’t even afford taking care of myself but if I have kid, I would adopt instead of “making my own kid”. Why not this is not popular? These kids already came to this shithole (world) and we’re just ignoring them.
I know the answer actually, we’re just slave to our instincts…
Wow, that’s a really horrible and judgemental take.
Maybe, but I find it accurate.
Really? You find it accurate that many people who want biological children want them over adopting because they dislike/hate orphans?
Where on earth did you get “dislike” or “hate” from StarkillerX42’s comments?! I read the following…
People are largely biased towards their own (genetic) offspring over other children.
People are largely indifferent to orphans.
Both of these seem self-evidently true and utterly uncontroversial to me.
Moreover, the bias towards one’s own genetic offspring is, by definition, narcissistic, although we can largely be forgiven for that, since it amounts to an involuntary imperative with clear evolutionary origins.
Not really. I know some people who says “Why would I take care of bastards’ kids?”…
That might be those people’s answer to why they wouldn’t adopt, but I’d put a lot of money down that the majority of people who want their own kids feel that way for reasons that are far more nuanced, and far less rooted in hate, than “fuck orphans”.
