A recent article titled “Mental Illness” published a Canterbury University student has caused a lot of controversy on campus. The student who only goes by “Deborah,” feels that if you have a mental illness you should not have children, only adopt. She feels that having children and predisposing them to mental disorders is “cruel. ”Needless to say many are very upset by her statement.
Yes, people are entitled to their opinions but if you are going to make such a statement you should make sure you are fully educated on the topic you are speaking on. And if you make a statement like this then you should say people in poverty should not have children because they are going to be impoverished as well. All of those statements would be ridiculous to make. Yes, there are studies that have concluded various results but as with anything there can be and always are exceptions.
