About this Quote

This quote by P. J. O'Rourke is a funny way of pointing out the unique habits of human beings compared to other animals. Humans are the only animals that have kids on purpose, meaning that they make a mindful decision to have children. This remains in contrast to other animals, such as guppies, who have no control over their reproduction and often wind up consuming their own offspring. O'Rourke's quote is a humorous way of highlighting the differences between human beings and other animals, and how human beings are the only species that have the capability to make mindful choices about reproduction. It likewise functions as a reminder of the value of being accountable when it comes to having children, as it is a choice that ought to not be taken lightly.
