[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, a more broader, philosophical objection is, you're not adding to the universe. You're taking. You're not giving. You're leaving nothing behind. In an environment of overpopulation that could be seen as a good thing by some. However, for those in a fortuitous position, financial able, able to provide, well, highly educated -- it's just a loss to society. A loss to the rest of us. Again, you leave nothing behind.

And on a personal level. More to love. Family lineage is a stronger bond. You aren't providing any value-added.[/quote]

This is silly. Our good deeds to others absolutely do leave something behind, whether or not you have children. [/quote]

For who? If children aren't made then are you doing this for the future deer population?[/quote]
CF people know that the world is overpopulated. We are not going to have a shortage of children anytime soon. Adding a few less is not going to collapse society like you seem to think it is. [/quote]

All societies do not have the same resources and intelligence and positive motivation. You are not being sacrificial by not having kids and instead spending that money and time in adulthood on yourself.[/quote]
