Thanks for sharing this. I think it's a really important and controversial topic, but one that more and more people are starting to question.
Personally, I dont want kids. I've studied the issues with overpopulation. I also find it hard to bring children into the world when there are so many lacking a loving family or safe home. I'm also pretty selfish haha. Dont get me wrong, I have nothing against people that do want children, but it's just not for me.
I'm sure you'll get many varying opinions on this in your comments and it's a great topic to discuss

Hi, thanks for reading and commenting, well I'm 31 and I don't have kids yet, I really don't think I'm close to having them.
As for whether we as a species should have children or not, I think it is 100% personal, and that the decision of each one is fine, not all of us were born to be parents, nor are we mentally and economically prepared to be one. I come from a Latin American country and I see that in the social classes with more financial problems are those who tend to have more children, almost without control despite not having the resources to feed or clothe them, so I understand based on my experience how controversial the issue is in terms of quality of life.
But I still don't think it's a solution that we all stop having children is the solution to the problem of unhappiness of the world's children, it's not like if you reach the age of 30 without children they assign you an orphan to raise. Not having children will not stop hunger, wars or pollution. All of that must be solved by citizen protest, political reform, and mass awareness.
