Project Summary: i have this question for discussion and i need one answer it in 6 sentences i want the answer talk about benefit of getting father or mother early I was watching The Maury Show yesterday, and as usual, he was interviewing couples concerning paternity of young children. Several of the mothers and some of the fathers were far too young to be parents (at least, I thought so). Several of the mothers of the girls and boys were on stage. So, what is the appropriate age for a person to have a child? The youngest known biological maternal unit is six (6). So, I guess the question really is at what point is a person mature enough to be a parent? Old enough to have sex? Able to financially support him/herself and a child? You tell me.
