    I see not having children is a form of harm reduction at this point. We only have a few more years before we are choking on dust storms and famine. I don’t want to put a child through that.

    I will be the first person to be happy to be proven wrong and do what i can to try and not have that happen but I’m not willing to gamble the suffering of my child on it not happening.

      I have the same thoughts. Until the world starts to improve (I doubt it will) I can’t bring a life into this world knowing they’ll have to suffer. If I find myself in a position where I really want kids, then I’ll adopt and make someone else’s life better (hopefully)

        Great answer with regards to the adoption. reduction of suffering is our generation’s only option.
