ORIGINAL: kalikshama Do you find the millions of women who chose to be child-free to be "unnatural?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childfree#Statistics_and_research ...Overall, researchers have observed childfree couples to be more educated, more likely to be employed in professional and management occupations, more likely for both spouses to earn relatively high incomes, to live in urban areas, to be less religious, to subscribe to less traditional gender roles, and to be less conventional.[13] Economist David Foot of the University of Toronto concluded that the female's education is the most important determinant of the likelihood of her reproducing. The higher the education, the less likely she is to bear children. In 2003, a U.S. Census study found that a record 19% of U.S. women age 40–44 did not have children (compared with 10% in 1976). Being childless was considered bizarre in the 1950s.[14] [15] In 2004, a 2004 U.S. Census study found that 18.4% of U.S. women age 35–44 were childless. Very nice! The higher people get educated the more likely the human race is goint to extinct. Me thinks at least a balance in procreation and dying of people is more preferable to our species. Or you might one day wake up in a world where there are way to less younger people taking care for the elderly, no? Or do you suggest a mass euthanesia of older people then?
