One of the things I am most proud of is not procreating.
However, if everybody adopted that approach - the human race would come to end rather
abruptly. Billions of old people won't have anybody to take care of them.
I know nothing matters in the grand scheme of things, but its rather sad.
Why am I even thinking about this? Is this a realistic problem? Probably not.
It might be a good premise for a short story though - if you are interested in writing.
How do you get the human race to wind down with the least suffering?
For one, I thought that having no children at all might cause a crash that would be
too catastrophic for the last generation of the human race.
Perhaps to alleviate that, each couple should have one child. This
would result in a more gradual decline.
Still it makes me imagine the life of that last child, the one who would really
turn the lights off for the human race.
I haven't read much about anti-natalism. Do they consider such issues?
