I think if ever in history there was a time to have children and to be optimistic about their future, now is it. I realize I am speaking as someone enjoying all the benefits of living in the first world but we are mastering science, lifespan is increasing, our ability to fight disease is growing, wars are fewer and farther between, quality of life is improving across the world. There are of course outliers that are very much surfaced via the media such as the refugee crisis. The fact that there is a place for the refugees to go though is even an improvement even though their circumstances are terrible. The threat of global nuclear war was an unstoppable idea a few decades ago, but war did not happen so all the worry was for nothing. With global warming its a steady thing that humanity can adapt to as it happens; technological advancement does not end, we will deal with it. Have kids if you want them and teach them to feel optimistic about the future, humanity is young and we are just getting started. I have kids and I am thrilled about the opportunities they are going to have growing up.
