I couldn't agree more. IMO, not wanting children for one's personal reasons is perfectly fine, there is no need to make it look like there is a higher noble reason behind it.
IMNSHO what is completely unacceptable is having children just because you "have to".
- hycaria 9y agoBut people really rarely ask this noble question to themselves. Why the need for numerous children considering our planet's state ? Isn't one enough and better for the environment ?
- nspattak 9y agoNo it is not. Environmental problems will continue to exist and actually increase even if the earth population was suddenly half by this afternoon. The problem comes from the careless use of technological advancements. Advancements which have given the ability to the otherwise powerless and incapable human beings to destroy their environment ( effectively transforming us to viruses! )
