Sure, adults don't prioritize for the needs of children nearly as much as they should.


What I mean is that even for those who do things can be difficult and not as simple as "get them fed and to bed on time."


Have you ever had kids?


No, and I'm not going to. I won't make the decision to conceive a person who's ultimate fate is to die, not without knowing that they themselves would have chosen to have lived a finite life. I myself will not know whether life is worthwhile until the end, and at that point it will be too late to do things differently.

I have been a child though, and have had a younger sibling.

And I certainly know, beyond any doubt at all, that 20 to 30 years ago parents weren't dosing their children with sleeping pills. At least not almost 1 in 5. This does not have to happen.
