The majority of people who choose to be child-free are doing just that - making a choice. Unless you are referring to the extreme minority of people who castrate or kill themselves to avoid conception, you're not actually describing people being "removed" from anything. They're just making choices that don't result in conception.
If someone is gay, they are most likely still capable of conceiving with the opposite sex. They are making a series of conscious decisions that preclude that conception, but they haven't been "removed" from the gene pool any more than a straight couple using a condom has been. Unless you don't believe in free will, most people are not at a "dead-end" at all.
- nvm0n2 3y agoAre they? Most women I know who are child less (not on board with calling it "child free", as if it's a sort of disease), ended up that way because they didn't get into a stable relationship quickly enough before their biology caught up with them. It wasn't so much an explicit choice as much as a consequence of an inability to be satisfied with a partner, or inability to settle.
