Kathy, the only problem with "privelege" is a question who to be given it. Who and how will decide, who is eligible to have kids, and who is not?
We have a family with two kids living in the same building with us. They are very poor: the man is disabled and can not work, and the woman does not have an education allowing her to get a well-paid job. But they are a happy family. Once I was passing near their door and heard the guy saying to his kids: "I love you, and I love you, too." They clearly seem to enjoy each other, and the kids are doing very well in school. I think that those people definetely deserve to have children, regardless of being poor.
What I thing is that the society should change its expectation toward all people: I mean, everyone must marry and have children. Having kids is much like having pets, just a lot more serious, and is not for everybody.
Honestly, I would give a lot for an ability to be a good mother and to raise a son who will inherit the name and blood. But can not play with someone's life :(
Have a good trip to Venezuala, by the way!!!
