Why is the relationship predisposed to being eventually broken?

Inevitable break-up? You're either so cynical you make other cynical people look positively optimistic, or you've been burned pretty harshly in a previous relationship. Pro-tip: Not every marriage goes down in flames. Not even the ones that have awful starts(Such as a 20 year getting a barely 17 year old pregnant, then the 20 year becoming disabled in an accident and unable to work). Sometimes that "OMG, we are so in love" is really real.

RL religious references, borderline trolling; generally when someone posts "Then my thread isn't going as intended." it usually isn't because they picked a safe topic.

And might I point out that mods can see ip addresses? Commenting in your own thread with a different name isn't a good idea.

*If* people can avoid the religion and trolling this can stay open. When the flames start, someone report it so it can be closed.

What about quality of life, overpopulation? If I knew fathering a child meant he had a 50% chance of inheriting some terrible malady, I personally wouldn't do it. And I personally wouldn't father 12 children, even out of love if it meant me just adding to the general head count in an area.

If God was so perfect I wouldn't have my testicles hanging externally and vulnerable to all of the world's dangers.

Are you sure about this....i mean the dangers. LOL

I never said that you HAD to produce off-spring just because you were in love. Just that everyone has a right TO love, and that if said love then happens to produce an off-spring, then so be it. Who am I(and who are any of us) to tell another person that they don't deserve happiness?

As far as the "chance of inheriting some terrible malady", who is to say that science doesn't find a fix/cure for that? Why should a person limit themselves in their pursuit of love and happiness out of fear?

Well if they do, it's up to them, but I wouldn't let them use that logic to prevent anybody else from having kids. It's a personal choice.

Also, back to the original post: I'd just like to say that postulating on whether somebody could ever be sick enough to give birth to somebody for the sole purpose of letting them experience pain is pretty ridiculous. It's not impossible I suppose, but it would be plain stupid to try and set up reproduction laws to keep it from happening.

To clarify, what I meant by that was, I wanted to spark an interesting discussion, which in this case may have involved a less than pleasant topic, and if that made people uncomfortable it probably means I made a thread about something that they might take interest in discussing. Not going to get anything out of a topic nobody cares about. I was aware that it's controversial, but I took the risk and hoped it would be safe for the forums.

I mean that's what Cayle did. Not me.
