Originally posted by Halo Jones View PostAgreed that nature wants to propagate, but with our vaunted intellect (as a species) are we not against nature & have been for a long time – in the realms of what we take out vs what we put in to nature / our environment.
Another way to look at it would be, to ensure the survivability of the species we have to breed to sustainable levels, so if I were to decide not to have kids due to the existing high human population, am I not being more aware of the needs of the species over my own desire to breed.
Or it could be that there are medical reasons why I can’t have kids & you are reminding me of that loss by your callous statement that I am unnatural.
Or I could be honestly selfish: which is better than having kids “as that’s what ones does” & not giving them a loving upbringing
There are many & varied reasons why people don’t have kids & who are we to judge them for their reasons?
This. There's 1 planet and 6 billion humans on it. There's enough famine and suffering without us adding to it ad infinitum until someone presses the big red button.
Sir David AttenBorough has it nailed: Sir David Attenborough: If we do not control population, the natural world will - Telegraph
On a slightly different note, surely my choice to not have kids is saving the world from additional lifetimes of carbon emissions and I should therefore get a carbon tax credit to use against my car tax......Have you tried switching it off and back on again??Comment

Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostWell because all species are genetically hardwired to want to propagate their species. It is as Nature decrees, hence anyone that flies in the face of that imperative must be, to a degree at least, somewhat unnatural.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I was really targeting those who seem to have made the choice because they are essentially too selfish.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

It IS, admittedly, a form of population control, but then again so is Genocide.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment
