No. I enjoy being alive too much, and don’t dislike children enough to do something that would leave them orphaned. — "Did Father shoot him? I will eat Grandfather for dinner." – Helen Keller, on learning of the death of her grandfather

Amen. This reminds me of "Steel Magnolias", and Julia Roberts character, who had type 1 diabetes. I think that her doctor had advised her not to have kids, but she did anyway. It wrecked her kidneys and she later died. The kid barely knew her!
