I did not have kids, I won't have kids. If you want to have a lasting impact on earth, refrain from having kids. Problem solved. In the meantime, I'll keep eating beef in an effort to get rid of the 1.4B cows you want dead.

347 lives lost per year, or one per million people. Similar to Prion disease fatalities. Sure, that's 3 times more than lightening strikes... but that's still extremely low AND safer than whatever. As for the risk of a plane over

I'm baffled that technology-related accidental deaths that can be and will be reduced by technology could feel somehow unacceptable, whereas a higher risk of human caused deaths would be OK just because you hope these humans will be pu
