So the Nick-Adlind = baby thing got me to thinking. So much that I broached this topic with family and friends and was surprised a the breadth of the responses.
So here is the question, assuming it is possible for a woman to trick or force a man into having sex with her so the man is not a willing participant in conception what if anything does that man ethically or morally owe to a child conceived in such a fashion?
In your answer do not discuss if it rape or not, or if it is actually possible, or any of the legal aspects, just assume it can happen. Keep your response at the level of what does the man owe in terms of morals or ethics to his biological child (note the emphasized text above) ?
For example, doe she owe child support?
Does he have an obligation to support the mother?
Should he pay for college?
Should he be a part, as a father figure, i that child's life?
Should he petition for custody?
etc, etc.
Note, this does not have anything to do with Nick and Adalind, it is a generic question, so please do not reply with what Adalind did to Nick or motivational factors etc. For this question forget about the series Grimm and stick to a generic example.
I created a binary survey for this, but I am really looking for explanation, not just a binary answer.
