Six billion in the world, struggling to survive on dwindling resources, and still people will do anything it takes—spend tens of thousands of dollars, undergo countless procedures, etc.—just to have that all-important child who happens to carry their own DNA. Am I the only one who finds this the tiniest bit self-centered? I'm not saying these parents are malicious in their intent. Just that raising a child should not be the ultimate end and sum total of your existence.
