The above is a link to an an advert encouraging more people to have children as the birth rate in Denmark is apparently so low.
My thoughts, excluding discussions about it being tongue in cheek (which is entirely possible), is that it's a terrible guilt trip and something I fundamentally disagree with. I don't think people should in any way be forced to have children or to even contemplate it if they don't want any.
The scene with the 'grand'mother is particular distasteful (and very weird, especially the bedroom part). Who gives a shit if your parents feel sad because they don't have the chance to be grandparents? Fuck them. What business is it of theirs?
I am glad to see an increased discourse over the ethical and moral issues over having children in a world where there are already hundreds of thousands to millions of children without parents who need fostering/adopting, and where millions more cannot survive because of the lack of resources available (for whatever reason).
As many may know I am not having children and have no desire for them, partly because I don't want to look after children and partly because I think there are enough humans already and I don't want to be apart of the problem.
However a lot of Western countries are seeing a decline in population which is only being stemmed by migration (the UK is an example of this), so I guess it's only natural that many states will start to promote the creation of more humons.
Thoughts?
