As a dad myself, dudes who willingly deny themselves being in the presence of the miracle of childbirth let alone being there for the entirety of what comes after baffles me.
Totally. I guess I say miracle because I had a biological anthropology class and we went specifically over birth in mammals and humans, and it's truly wild. 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs half from mom half from dad, 3.1 billion base pairs, replicated billions of times with nearly no lose. Some humans come out with only an estimated 60 mutations from that process.. A lot of cells don't even make it past those first few splittings, roughly 40-50% of fertilized eggs don't even attach.
It's a bit mind boggling that their is life at all.
