Having kids is the "selfish" thing to do, especially in this thread. The economy and country will suffer, so bringing more sentient without their consent. These kids already have jobs ready for them, to fix things that their ancestors screwed up and now have a much bigger older population.
The rich and famous celebrities are asking to have more kids because they will need these cells to run their factory and sell product services. Economy needs to grow every year only for them.
Climate crisis also going to be extremely cruel to all species and these kids have to suffer the consequences of all the previous humans. Bringing them here is way too selfish. Even IPCC report was watered down.

Additionally life is hard, cruel to many.
It's always others' needs. There might be many reasons to have kids but none of them is for the benefit of the potential kid.
- cyberpunk 5y agoYeah. My son is 3, I'm very glad to know him. But looking at the world? Probably, I've just created suffering. I mean, beyond the suffering of being a parent to a 3 year old ;)
- johnnylambada 5y agoPlease disabuse yourself of these sentiments. There has never been a better time to be alive and your three year old will have a far better life than you or I. Climate change is a problem but there will be solutions.
- tsol 5y agoTakes like that don't help IMO. In a way it was better in the past when people thought life was awful but that's just the way it is, you just do your job and live your life. Ironically, as life has gotten better we think more that suffering isn't inevitable, and if suffering isn't inevitable we should prevent it. Which the easiest way to do that, is to just not have kids.
- birksherty 5y ago> your three year old will have a far better life than you or I. Climate change is a problem but there will be solutions. To be frank, this is completely false and may be you are getting wrong information. Climate change is already in irreversible state, there is no solution. Period. Gov and corporations are not even trying to minimise it, just delaying until last moment. Humans will survive but it will be dystopian. The kids will suffer the worst. This is not exaggeration. Rich will just stay in gated community.

- birksherty 5y agoWhere do you get these information? It's unbelievable that people still denying climate change and it's effects. The oil industry and conservatives did quite a good job spreading lies for personal benefit which already destroyed the planet irreversibly.
