Is it ethical for a single person to have children?

rational experiences said:

If a single adult asked it then a single child is without a guardian parent love kindness and care. As a question gets answered by another question...should any child be without love and adult guidance?

What does a single parent have to do with this, though?
There are lots of successful parenting and child-rearing systems in different cultures, around the world, and they don't all involve the two biological parents.

It's just really hard to be both mom and dad, and also try to make a living. Kids with two parents tend to do better, obviously because they get more mom/dad time. It's just physically and emotionally exhausting to be a parent, but it's worth it.

All adults are one single self. So is a child. So we need guidance love support. I said if one human meets that need then it's good enough. As some children with two parents get abused by both. Life is what it is.

If society failed it's because rich man liars own every single problem they invented versus natural families first hierarchy natural family and not single minded lying human greed.

Already known realised self assessed self taught yet still practiced rich man's greedy lying.

What about societies where children are raised by aunts and uncles, or where children do not reside in their biological parents' home?
How about the Israeli creche system in some Kibbutzim, where children were raised by child-care specialists, apart from their parents? These produced healthy, well-integrated adults, and the highest levels of moral development ever tested.

What's your problem?

How about ....is a direct review of your statement as chosen reading.

If you say should one human look after a child. In biology one human grows bares the child.

All human's are one self. One self cares for one self. If you care correctly as one self then you would teach a child one self correctly also.

If you say does a human need a parent I might clone life instead as an order. That's another topic. And those types of thinkers aren't moral in the first instance.

Humans after all own why human babies exist. And it's not science first.

The consensus is short-sighted.
