well i've read some of the responses in this thread, and it seems to be a mixed bag. some people regretted it, and that's enough for me to take... a serious look at this. I think being young I don't have to worry for at least awhile, but if something were to happen (like getting a girl pregnant) I would probably be very unsure of what the future would hold, and possibly distraught.

I think adopting a child would be a safer route, but they say there's nothing like raising your own genetic child.
