That's not what Colorado's law is intending which was the cause for this
thread in the first place. Sounded like you were agreeing with 'Dr.'

Family survival in what sense? Literal progeny or the traditional
family unit?
I think it's an issue of parental responsibility which is a
characteristic of making a useful difference, self-worth, and successful
procreation in the greater sense. Self-gratification is also
ambiguous. In my case it means furthering my goals of being a
worthwhile person rather than shallow hedonistic satisfaction of hurting
your former spouse.
