Do you think a baby is a negative or a positive side effect of sex ?

All opinions appreciated :)

It really depends on what stage of your life that you're in. If you aren't prepared for one it can be a negative at first but if you are trying to conceive then its a position. I think despite the hardships it will always turn out to be a positive in the long run.

It's not a "side effect"
It's the purpose of sex. To reproduce. :P

It's like saying "Do you think getting rid of a headache is a good or bad side effect of Tylenol?"
Well if you have a headache (want a baby) it's a good thing, if you don't, it's unhealthy to randomly pop the pills (don't want a baby)

If you are ready and want a baby, it's a good thing. If not, it will only make the baby's and your life harder.

Take it from me, having a headache is not a good thing. xD

But having a baby can be a wonderful experience, I just don't think its something a teen should endure, especially the female. One's aim in sex is either for a baby or for pleasure or both. A baby is never thought of as a side effect. It is a RESULT of sex. We just have contraceptives that help lower the chances of pregnancy, and thus cause something that is normally a RESULT (not a side effect) of sex to be less likely to occur. But yeah, I think a baby isn't a bad thing, but you should only have one when you're ready, and if you don't want the responsibility of a child, you should take the necessary precautions beforehand.

It depends on your age, and what you want and your situation in life. If you're poor and can't support anymore kids, then a baby can be a bad thing. If you have the money and are ready to provide a healthy environment, then a baby can benefit the family and hopefully society in the future.

If a baby is wanted and welcomed, then a baby is a positive side to sex. If not, then it's not.

If you are young, it's a bit of a bad thing, but there is no bigger joy than the joy of life.

Depends. If you were trying for a baby then good thing but if it just sort of happened and you weren't ready then bad thing.
