[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]
Did you birth any children, yourself?[/quote]

NP. I've birthed two and it's definitely the most selfish thing I have ever done. They made me focused on my home and family and took me away from other pursuits I had had that had a positive impact on the world. They're my little pet project, not a gift to humanity. [/quote]

NP. It’s easy to overstate the positive impact of whatever things you “could” have done but never did. We all think like that whether we become parents or not. And except for an exceptionally small number of truly exceptional people, having kids is not going to get in the way of doing work that positively impacts the world. What gets in the way is the lack of support, affordable childcare and homes.[/quote]
