Nice to meet you all. I work at night and thankfully our IT hasn't blocked this forum yet so it makes for great reading on a dull shift.
I get that my views on procreation aren't always popular. (Though it is nice to see some here are like minded!) I just figured it is a simple enough equation. The population is growing exponentially. The planet can support a finite amount of people. I feel like we are rapidly approaching that number and there is nothing so outstanding about my genes that I feel the need to pass on.

We are are part of nature, built from the same stuff as stars, planets, asteroids, and comets. Our protons and neutrons have been around since the earliest times, glued together into heavy elements of long dead ancient suns, blasted out into the universe and resculpted from diffuse interstellar dust clouds by the gentle hand of gravity. When the pattern of atoms known to be you ceases to be, the building blocks will return to the voids of space, and in a billion years or more, they may take their place in another structure so beautiful that a future mind may perceive it to be the work of a god. ~ Brian Cox
