It’s very worrying hearing the Gen Zers question whether they should have kids in a world that has as many challenges as ours, especially climate change.
I know not everyone can, or wants to have children, but for our species to continue surviving, we need to at least have population replacement.
History has countless examples of people continuing to have children despite terrible circumstances surrounding them. Climate change is a global threat that is very real, but having children is a statement of hope and belief in the human experiment. If we don’t believe that our children could potentially live in a better world than ours, then what’s the point of any of our daily strivings? Why don’t we just give up now?
