[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it's best for the planet that the human race *doesn't* reproduce at its theoretical optimal. We've already half-killed the place, and it doesn't need zillions more greedy First Worlders running around with their single-use plastics and their giant SUVs. May the downward trend continue until every child is a wanted and supported one.[/quote] This. [/quote] x1000000 I wish schools do a better job educating the next generation about population effects[/quote] First Worlders is pejorative and dated. OCED countries fertility rate is 1.8; replacement level is about 2.1. The major drivers in population growth are in low income areas. The issue with OCED countries is a high-consumption life-style, a distinct issue. Further, a declining fertility rate won't render every child wanted and supported unless you get to really dystopian world.[/quote]
