Adults have complete agency over themselves and their lives. Babies do not.
The idea of an adult retiring and no longer contributing to the workforce has only existed for the last 150 or so years of humanity in general.
And even then, that adult has a literal lifetime to prepare for their own retirement.
That’s absolutely NOTHING like a baby, which has no agency, no control over their life or actions, and is completely dependent on their parents. To even make the comparison is ignorant at best.
If I make it to old age and can’t feed or wipe myself, and nobody else wants to do that, that’s a me problem. I have probably been a shitty enough person that my children and grandchildren don’t want to take care of me, and/or I’ve been financially stupid enough to not plan for that outcome. Either way, that’s my own life actions coming back to me.
A baby doesn’t get that. They exist solely because some other people brought them into the world.
Well that’s a massive incorrect comparison lmao.
