When Should You Have A Baby? 

NGƯỜI VIỆT VÌ SỨC KHỎE agree

by that time it's like you're 50

HIV AIDS Or how about not having kids at all.

which is totally fine for a dude, but for ladies.. not so much

Says hiv aids

You win.

Nic's Channel true

Definitely!

Ding ding ding. CORRECT!

J G or when you feel like it

How about never

The third world doesn't seem to think so

Should is a strong word

Sarah Hamilfan agreed

It didn't mention it because it's not relevant. Otherwise the title would've been "Do Children Ruin Their Parent's Lives?"

They mention this on their video "why you shouldn't have children" on the Greg and Mitchell channel

I wouldn't put down single parents - they can be awesome. You can't predict how relationships will develop. Personally, I think amicable divorce is better than 'trying to make it work', especially if you can sort out decent custody arrangements.

+Merry Machiavelli In the end, shared custody is the best solution. Even if there are children raised by a single parent, it's best for children to grow up with both their parents

Meme Queen I have to disagree with you for certain situations. Sometimes people break up for good reasons that their kids shouldn't experience. My parents had me when they were 18 but they broke up before I was born. My dad didn't want to be in my life, but my mom really wanted me to have a dad. So eventually he did decided to be in my life but he's treated me like crap the entire time. He's as emotionally abusive to me as he was to my mom. We would have been better off if she had chosen to be a single parent.

Actually, you don't. I'm not sure if I will have a boyfriend but I'll definitely adopt a child and love him and take care of him by myself, I don't need no partner and neither do you😊

+Amit Goel lolol....amit goel...u had just subscribed to this channel in ted ed video... wait....u also subbed in last vdo... wait... ur the one who owns this channel...

If the decision to have children is looked upon broadly enough with a rational lens, humanity might just go extinct lol. Given 50% of all pregnancies in the US are unintended, even if we assume 50% of those pregnancies don't go to full-term (pretty agressive), it still means that *1/3rd* of all births in the US are unintended, if we get rid of all of those (through more rational thought on having kids), the US is gonna start looking like Japan demographics wise real soon...

This topic is EXTREMELY relevant to me as we speak. I thank asapSCIENCE for producing this right here & now.

matthewmatthew638 You're basically saying people shouldn't be rational 😂 wtf

Health Chronicle no they're not

Victoria o gud 4 u

My mom was going to have a baby at 41 in November almost at 42 though she miscarried

yeah but that still had many risks for your mom and your brother. Studies have shown that certain point being too old increases risk of down sydrome. Birth complications if you are too old or young, miscarriage , etc.

@@ingles944 very common at older or extremely young age. Plus not very smart since chances of down syndrome increase a lot

​@ingles944 She's too old for that and its very risky to get pregnant when you're over 35. 18-28 are the best ages for pregnancy

Elias Vågan nah

Thank you.

Elias Vågan sometimes either that never happens or a wrench is thrown into your plans

Elias Vågan yup did all that now am ready I've even found the right lady 😁

Rome totally Agree, unfortunatelly most young people in the age 20-29 dont see it that way and saying that they should "enjoy the life more" (note: getting wasted etc).. which in my opinion is not the real meaning of life. Im 21, married (i married this year) with nice career and much more ahead and most important thing happened to me 4 days ago when my daughter was born. The feeling and the responsibility i felt was incredible.

Rome I don't agree. You're basically calling anyone who is super poor at 25 years old retarded. You know how stupid that sounds? You're basically saying the person should figure out the work place, get started with maybe a $20k-$50k job, and on top of that figure out how to be a parent at the same time. Keep in mind, many are just getting out of college by 25-28. Some even later. The fact is, there is plenty of people that are having kids in their mid to late 30's and giving a higher quality of life to the kid. To the outside it might seem abnormal, but most parents on the outside don't care about their kids all that much. Most parents use their kids as tools or free labor 99% of the time. And while waiting doesn't give a 100% that things will be more stable. The far majority isn't going to be stable during the age group you listed. Now if someone did somehow become one of the very few that grown up in a stable life and transfer that, or started their career at a very young age. Then I can see where your argument on the optimal age being 25-29. But the majority isn't going to have that life. It's just a simple fact. And sadly, by my logic the majority wouldn't have kids because the majority will never become stable. But it's 10 fold when you have kids. Keep in mind, you can move around and do some stuff with your career you simply can't do while you have kids. Even more so if you're single. So this alone automatically increases your chances of having a stable life by a huge amount. I think the cut off is around 45-50 years old. Some even down in the lower 40's. Depending on how well someone takes care of themselves, someone looks ahead, and so on. This might push the age one way or another. But I think after that point the quality of life for the kid quickly goes down hill towards the later years of the kids life. In fact, most women can't have kids anyways at such a age. @Andrej Hornak You're 21. What does the fish in the river know about the ocean? You're way too young to be making such a call on saying it's stupid to have kids after 29. Give it about 10 years and travel around your country (I'm assuming you're in the USA), and then you can come back with your new experience. You might be OK, but the far far far majority aren't. I agree most in this age group is trying to "enjoy" life by getting high or drunk. Most are more worried about today than several years in the future. Most make bad choices, have no real goals in life, and doesn't care about their responsibilities. Most never had to be responsible for themselves let alone someone else, so it makes sense. I have a saying that I made. "One doesn't reflect the many, and many doesn't reflect the one." So as you move on, don't compare yourself to others and note how everyone has their own story.

@@monsecko4792 why?

Keerthi Kallanja depression is not genetically inherited lmao and if the op means that the depressed might influence her/ his child then just hide your mental state, it’s easy

@@monsecko4792 Maybe but if you are depressed you should not have children... Instead you should treat it and take care of yourself. If you already have kids, treatment is very necessary because innocent lives are also at harm

Monsecko Depression is the absence/low dopamine levels (and other factors of course) and genetics can alter these levels. Although the tests are in their early stages it is being shown that if a parent or sibling has depression then their offspring or sibling is 3-4 times more likely to have it as well. So technically the research is showing that it’s possible that depression is genetic. The research is in its early stages but the evidence is there with supporting the thought that there is a genetic association with depression in some people

Agreed, so many people here are on their high horses just for their belief of not having kids.

Dovahkiin Demacian and they think if they dont have kids they contribute to the lowering of over population.

I have a friend who post on fb 3049823409283409823 memes about how smart he is for not wanting kids, and how stupid is people for wanting them (he's pretty stupid in general by the way xD, but he likes to think he's intelligent), then a lot of his friends commented him, get a vasectomy and stop whining and then he shutted his mouth.

All humans=shit

It's okay if others want to have children, but I personally do not want any.

Yeah that would suck to not get to be a kid anymore, glad i'm not having any, i can keep playing my games all night and into the morning :)

@3:36 No😂😂 there are so many xute boys but I'm scared to admit that

Horrible percentage

MostBeast234 they stated 50%, but I'm Shure it's higher. Still 1 out 2 is a huge x)

It would be interesting to know the real stat, because like you pointed out, that's only the parents who admit it. I bet the percentage would be a lot higher if people admitted that maybe they were planning on having kids eventually anyway, but weren't exactly trying for one when they got pregnant.

50% unplanned seems reasonable, but unwanted is different despite not being planned

my parents might've had my sister unplanned but they don't have any thoughts of disownment for me and my sister and it turned out to be good because after my sister my mom found she couldn't have kids ever again and they were wanting to have my sister... just a bit later... xD

@@what2toinquarantine64 ???

Judith Wallace high freaking five.

I'm a childfree person, but I have to push back on what you just said. That's a tautological statement. You can't consent to existence because you don't exist. But you can't do anything when you don't exist. Also, people do have a right to do things without the consent of other people. What they don't have a right to do is violate a person's boundaries (consent is a means of communicating and affirming personal boundaries), which basically boils down to not threatening the safety of the person. When a person violates the boundaries of another person (an existing person, to get back to the tautology form early, as existing as a person is a prerequisite condition for any of this to make sense) they are doing one of two things - they are doing things which actively reduce the person's safety or they are creating a conditional threat to reduce the person's safety (if you do X, then I will do Y). You can argue about what is a real or perceived reduction of safety and get into some weeds there, but I think if you frame it this way, it's at least useful. But yeah, you have to exist as a born person who has reached the level of communicating their wishes to others in SOME way before consent is possible. I agree that for humans procreating is necessarily selfish though, and I think it's helpful to argue that, as the narrative around parenting is super distorted and claims not having children is "selfish" without an ounce of thought behind what the hell that even is supposed to mean. So that part was cool, imho.

That doesn't make sense. Pain helps us navigate the world successfully, it's how we learn to keep our organism out of danger as best we can. We don't like pain because that's the whole point of pain. It motivates us to avoid things that hurt or kill us. That is not related to morality.

It's the same mechanism. So is fear, danger, threat. Look into the neurology of it. Those are just circumstances where you might be in more pain/fear. But...that's really normal to our organism. And again, the only reason you feel that way is your organism wants you to try to solve something. Solving problems and pattern matching mitigates that danger/threat system that leads to pain. So, if you're trying to make a moral argument (it doesn't make sense though) you can argue back on yourself and say you would be depriving "them" of the experience of joy that is basically little more than relief/present safety from pain/fear/danger. Our brain rewards us for achieving safety (also met via having good pattern matching/recognition skills and working on those skills) because that is again a mechanism that helped us survive. It's an amoral feature of our organism.

Judith Wallace exactly! It's peoples choice of weather they want children or not despite what people think it's not there business unless the child is being abused then please step in
