Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the psychological and social motivations behind the desire for children, particularly through medical advancements like IVF. He argues that the urge to have a child is often not rooted in love but is part of a socially conditioned 'good life package.' This package includes material possessions like a big house, luxury cars, and a high-status spouse, where a child serves as the final 'box to tick' to complete one's social portfolio. He compares the desire for a child to a child's desire for a doll, suggesting that many parents lack the conscious maturity required for upbringing and instead view children as decorative objects or investments.
