What we advocate is generosity and prudence. A new person is always a gift to be celebrated and desired. Because parents and society must be able to provide these gifts and allow them to reach their full potential, there is a just space for the regulation of births. Parents that face physical, psychological, social or economic limitations are justified in spacing births, if they have a spirit free of selfishness and full of generosity. To do this, they must use the right means, means that respect the dignity of the human person.
Human beings are very good.
Don't be afraid, don't have children with fear. Bring more life into the world with responsibility and openness. Gabriel Martinez is a graduate student in the economics department. His column runs every other Thursday.
