Just to play Devil's Advocate:
Define what risks are acceptable and what aren't.
Define the net worth required to bear children comfortably.
Define what reasons are right and which are wrong.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but what you're suggesting is completely subjective. If you asked me for my own personal boundaries, I think you'd probably be shocked and horrified, but those are for my kids, not anyone else's.

I know you were just grasping for examples, but thought I'd toss a little info in anyway.

Actually I knew that, but you were right about grasping at the examples. I really meant post-childbirth development of both but obviously didn't make that clear at all.
