High Insurance Score For Unborn Children

One of my friends before purchased an educational insurance for his kid.  The thing is he does not have a kid yet, not even a wife.  What he had was a girlfriend but things did not work out so he was left with an insurance.  I do not know if he can still use it just in case he has a kid. 

When I asked him the reason for the purchase, he said that he had high Insurance Score because he does not have a kid yet. Thus it is perceived to be less risky to insure.
