The risks of a birth


Once born, one must find food and water
And escape the predator throughout one’s life.
One must compete with rivals for food and sex.
Accidents and disasters must exclude one.
Adverse heat and cold must spare one.
The old age must breed no organ failures.
Paucity of water and drought can kill one.
Must a birth with these risks be tried at all?
