as for whether they should or shouldn't... it's not for me to say really is it? I don't think it's fair to expect it.
I think procreation is neither moral nor immoral. It all depends on how you raise your kids. If they are environmentally concious, then what harm could they possibly do to the environment? if procreation is banned, then we would just die out, right? I think that people should have to get a license before they can have kids. then we would have a lot less bad parents out there.
You should not procreate if you can't look after the child and give it a good life.
I don't think thats too "barbaric" a position is it?
The population explosion is comming from the less indusrrial countries. Wonder if they ask themselves the same questions?
I guess women should sleep with one eye open then.
True sadly but the last line was for the one who started the thread, which kinda kills it when she gets to this post.......DOHUnfortunately in most poor countries women have very little to no control over their fertility.

There's a major difference between having sex and the active decision to bring another human being into the world, especially in a society where preventative, and after-the-fact, contraception is readily available. Having a child today is a conscious choice.
Well, thanks Hermann for pointing out that onei is a mom. I had assumed otherwise! lol.
That being said....
The desire to procreate is not limited strictly to the act of sex. The desire to have a child, to hold that warm little bundle of joy in your arms, is not just about screwing. It's an urge of its own, completely outside of the act which makes it possible, and if you think there are many people in this world who can simply shrug off that urge, that desire, then you're kidding yourself.
The desire to procreate and the rational decision to procreate are two different things. I would always hope that parents address the latter. Obviously, from your post, many don't.
