Ah, so I did misinterpret your statement first time 'round?
I was thinking that "children" may be a function of total population. At least below some threshold people may have more kids than they would otherwise out of a sense of "duty", or the desire for continuation of the species (which seems to be inherent -- people sacrificing themselves to save "the world" usually do it to safe humanity).
- marshray 14y agoWe'll just go with me being unclear and possibly confused on that first round. If, in reality, people are having children out of a sense of duty to save the world from extinction due to underpopulation then I'm wondering why I didn't get the memo.
- qu4z-2 14y agoNot that they are having them for that reason currently, but it's not implausible they would start were the total human population of earth to drop below, say, 100k.
