          Only if you want a higher chance at survival; plenty of births going on all around the world “at home” or with minimal medical support, and on average they still work out… on average.

      I have a child and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me, but I totally understand because children are expensive. If you think it costs a lot to feed your dog, imagine having to pay a premium on that to feed them on top of paying for diapers and that’s just for the first couple of years.

      Don’t have kids if you can’t afford to give them a decent life.
