Babies are replaceable

So are you.

To a degree (no pun intended). It would take some time for the university to find someone to replace me.

OTOH, two idiot teenagers can start another urban blight baby to contribute to overpopulation in 10 minutes.


Really? Who's to say the baby isn't the next super-genius or major hero or something else? Heck, you could even adopt the baby and it would be as close as family. Maybe they ARE your replacement!

Also, 'contributing to overpopulation is kind of dependent on where you live. Somewhere like India or China might have an overpopulation issue, but Japan? That's an entirely different story. Heck, even in 'Murica I'd say the child would be much more of a boon due to slowing population growth.

Ive notice you mention this twice, but I think theres a lot more to adopting a baby. I dont think its a finders keepers kinda deal. Tbh, most people who saved a baby probably wouldnt be able to keep it, I would think. Legally, at least.

Also, it could go both ways. (S)he couldve been the next genius/hero or the next villain, as well. And I dont think I want a random child as a replacement for my dog. I dont think you can just replace either of them. Not to mention, some people would possibly come to resent the baby that they saved only by giving up the life of their dog, who they actually cared about very much.
