Re: Childfree versus not wanting kids?

(Anonymous) 2015-02-02 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the thing. A lot of people who are childfree are so because there are so many people on this planet. We don't have kids because we know how much more waste a child will generate over his/her lifetime. Even if we were to teach a kid how to use whatever resources are available, that kid coukd grow up to be a hyperconsumer. On top of that, we know that food production is at a crossroads due to an increase in social resistance to tactics to increase crop yields (among other things). We know that resources are projected to become more expensive at best because so many other people are reproducing (mostly due to social pressure). Even though birth rates are starting to fall in most developed nations, the positive effects of that won't be noticeable for a few more generations. Estimates from The Economist have indicate the population won't stabilize for at least another 35 years. By that point, we'll be at a point where people giving birth simply at the replacement rate will be more than sufficient from keeping the human race alive.
