385,000 children are born every day, around the world. Should we be contributing to that? Welcome to a new episode of Arguable, where we dig into the heart of controversial debates and ask the questions others shy away from.
Is it ethical to have a child in today's world? Do they truly consent to being born? And when it comes down to it, is life filled with more joy or pain? As we ponder these questions, we explore what it really means to bring a new human into existence and how that decision transforms your life.
We'll discuss the differences in how parenthood affects women and men and what we can do to change those dynamics. We'll also consider the environmental and economic footprint of having children and debate the morality of having your own child versus adopting.
And, of course, we can't forget about politics and billionaires! We'll dig into US vice presidential candidate JD Vance's controversial comments on "childless cat ladies" and the audacious claim of Telegram's billionaire founder of having fathered 100 children.
Join us as we wade through the ethical quagmire of parenthood, gender roles, and societal expectations, and try to find a bit of clarity in the chaos.
