Obviously I care - where did I say that I didn’t? I find this story fascinating, and the responses to it as well. I’m very much aware of what a message board is but thank you for trying to educate me as if I didn’t know what it was that I’ve been commenting on.

So should people with dangerous jobs also refrain from having kids because they are more likely to die? Or should they be allowed to do what they please with their own body and what they feel is the best decision for them?
