I saw this post on fb the other day, and it was a 'picture-story' basically about this unattractive girl, who has surgery to make herself attractive. Since doing this, she then falls in love, gets married and has a kid. The kids ends up looking like she did before the surgery.
Now obviously, it was illuding to the fact that you can change what you look like, but, you can't change your genetics. But I have also seen it the other way around too. A really good-looking person makes an ok-looking child.
This got me thinking. Why do people have children? not the obvious 'to keep the human race alive' because there is 7 billion of us. We are the most common species on earth. Considering there is no certainty that when/if you have kids they will come out how you expect.
You can't guarantee the person you choose to have kids with will lead to have having successful children in the future. So why chance it?
