This Written Assignment has two questions, but you only need to answer one of them: For the non-parents in the class, please answer question #1. For those of you who have children,

please answer question #2. You do not have to answer both questions this week – just one or the other, based on whether you have children or not. In either question, please try to answer the questions thoroughly in an essay – minimum of 400 words.

Question #1

If you don’t have children now, do you plan to have them someday? Have you thought about the skills and qualities that make a good parent? Given what you know about yourself today, do you think you will make a good parent? What skills or qualities do you think you need to develop?

Question #2
What are your views on infertility treatments? Do you feel treatment is appropriate, or do you think infertile couples should adopt children? If you were faced with a diagnosis of infertility, what would you consider doing?
