My baby was 5 months old at the time.....I spent so much time telling her how sorry I was that I brought her into this horrible world.
But still, the world is as it ever was. Causes and scales have changed a bit maybe, but not things in principle.
There were times and places in Europe not too long ago, where the terror threat was quite high for the individual, e.g. more than 500 British troops were killed in Northern Irish terror, not to speak of civilian losses.
And then, a bit more than half a century ago, we are talking of many millions left dead by war in Europe and Russia. I think those times were definitely worse for a baby to be born. Nevertheless many of those fomer babies have grown up and live quite happily today.
