  Pregnancy, Human Nature, Tragedy of the Commons

  One point that hasn't been raised here is that if people of our ilk - people who think and care about such environmental and social issues - stop having babies in order to lessen their negative impacts on the world, then only the people who don't share these values will be reproducing. And they, most likely, will raise kids who don't care about environmental and social responsibility. And it will simply become a terrible cycle of people who don't care generating more people who don't care, and so on. Personally, I hope to raise a modest number of socially and environmentally responsible children who will grow up to do enough good in the world to more than offset the negative impacts of simply being alive.On A handy health checklist for pregnancy posted 2 years, 2 months ago 4 Responses
