All of those 6 children are in their 20's now. 5 are hell-raising. 3 of the 5 hellraisers have multiple children being raised by relatives. But 1 of those 6 worked hard, went to harvard on scholarship, became an MD and opened a clinic where she treats children of drug addicts. So which kid do you stop from entering the world?

Yes, WikidPissah, I see what your saying. I don't think it is really about not wanting them to enter the world. Look at the statistics in your post.
My point was more about seeing how many children are raised improperly.
This is a perfect example. I wonder how busy that clinic is? Why?
I think its great that one child out of all this is doing something. But maybe all of them could have done something good, if they had the right upbringing.
