> But in the face of 7 BILLION and counting...climate change...other questions about resources

Pretty sure most people who want to be parents dont really think about those issues when having kids. It might be important for you but its not for those new parents.



Yes. And thus my original comment about the lack of the need for a license, etc.

Short-sighted people with more money than awareness doesn't feel like a great way to describe a future parent(s).


You accuse others of being short sighted when you first need to look in the mirror.

> Short-sighted people with more money

Turns out people with money (aka developed countries) the birth rate is falling (or already has fallen) below replacement.

Population is not the problem, population with an American lifestyle is a problem.
