Plus if you really regret not having children you can always become a foster parent/adopt.

On the other hand: what if you do have children and you regret that? Start killing?

Fake your death, orphan your kids, why kill them. Plus, it has a benefit that you can disappear from your old life and start anew! Somewhere in Finland or Norway or Japan.

That's my answer everytime. Tbf I love children I just don't want to be a parent, but if some day I regret it I can adopt!
My family always say "oh it's not the same, you don't know where they came from"
MF my children would have more mental health issues than anyone out there. Also I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that I love more than anything and Idk where they came from either. If I can love pets I can love a child even more.

An adopted girl I knew would say "your parents were stuck with you, but my parents chose me!"

You don't know where they came from.

But you have a better idea of who they are than when you make new ones from scratch

Yup. I got the snip for a few reasons, but when we get more financially stable we plan on adopting/fostering.
