[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look at this comment at a more macro level. Children grow up to support the economic system. Children are who eventually fund pensions and SS. By opting out of children (even if done for all the right reasons) you are in essence riding the coattails of others who went through the struggles of raising children. And if everyone opted out of having children humanity would end. [/quote] I disagree with this line of reasoning. Not everyone uses pensions/SS and childless people are more likely to be and to save to support themselves in retirement without government aid. I have two aunts who are childfree by choice and they’re both the best set up for retirement/elder care of their siblings and will probably end up leaving money to their nieces and nephews when they die. It’s the parents that will be relying on government benefits for their heath care.[/quote]
