[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of factors.

Women wanting a career more than a family. 
Young people not wanting to marry let alone start a family.  
Young people more interested in social media than actual human contact. 
Egocentricity - more concerned with one's own needs and not wanting to worry about the needs of another. 
The economy and unwillingness to sacrifice luxuries for the benefit of another.

The world does not need more humans.  Having a baby is selfish and done to fulfill one's self.  You are not making some grand sacrifice for the world, this is about you and yours.  [/quote]

If everyone stopped having babies, humans would cease to exist.  Seems that is what you want. 
Despite your beliefs, having children is a sacrifice.  It is also a blessing and an experience so rewarding that those who choose to not have children will never experience.   [/quote]

Okay, so it's a sacrifice, but it's also "a blessing and an experience so rewarding." Sounds like you think this blessing and rewarding experience is a terrific benefit to you overall. Great. Go for it. But that's not a grand sacrifice overall that you are doing to benefit humanity instead of yourself. You just contradicted that. [/quote]

Oh, please.  Any parent who tells you that they did not make sacrifices to have children are just lying or are not very good parents.  
[b]And, how do you know that one of the children that I gave birth to and sacrificed for is not the next Einstein or Mother Theresa?  [/b]
There is no contradiction to saying that having kids is both a sacrifice and a blessing and rewarding experience.  
You don't want kids?  Fine.  Don't have them.  But, don't go around criticizing others for wanting the joy of having a family.  [/quote]

Or the next Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy.[/quote]
