Is it okay for parents to engage in risky behaviors?

This is something I think about quite often, and I have no answer either way.

Now, I am definitely not one to
believe that one must sacrifice themselves to their children. Fulfilling one’s desires is important for happiness. But, I often take issue with those who engage in high-risk behaviors, especially as a career. Police, firefighters, especially those in the military: is it right that these people choose to have children and then engage in behaviors that could very likely get them killed?

Having a spouse is one thing. A husband/wife is an adult, capable of making their own choices, but children are brought into the world through no choice of their own.

Like I said, I have no right answer. I’d like to hear your opinions.
