I have a question--are children our responsibility until they are married? I think this would play into this discussion.
I agree that this plays into the discussion. If they ARE our responsibility until they're married then there would definitely seem to be some ramifications for the given topic.
I don't think they are. Adulthood is a culturally contingent designation. Our culture seems to award "adult" status in stages, but at the age of 18 they are given autonomous decisionmaking status. At that point you can't MAKE them do anything. I'm not responsible for something - or someone - I can't control.
