This is for people who do NOT want to have children. Are you suggesting to force people into having children?

  This is a viewpoint that always comes up in these discussions, and I find it to be one entirely lacking in nuance. Society is not comprised of entirely free individuals that evaluate every decision rationally and carefully before making any action. It is full of powerful forces (corporate, religious, ideological, political, etc.) that seek to influence people and push them toward one thing or another - or merely to make everything more chaotic. This state of affairs has gotten even more complicated in the last ~half century, where we now have billion dollar corporations entirely focused on influencing your behavior. It’s perfectly reasonable to suggest that society could be more conducive to having children, promote ideas that encourage having children, not fund things that discourage having children, and so forth - without that somehow being equivalent to “forcing people to have children.”

    > without that somehow being equivalent to “forcing people to have children.” Are we reading the same comment chain? Quoting GP: > governments ought to consider finding the reverse of this molecule -- a STK33 activator -- and adding it to the water supply.
