The great plagues wiped out ~30% of Europe and the population recovered in a couple of generations, whereas no population recovers from a below replacement birth rate.

I'm not sure that tracks, if you don't solve the pressure to keep birth rates high then mass death just results in increased birth rates as resources free up. If you want to create a long term self limiting population then birth rate reductions are better. Also killing alive people is generally regarded as unethical whereas not creating people in the first place is at worst ethically neutral and I would argue, cool and good.

Birth rates tend to level off once societies reach a certain point anyway. And of course no one wants to have that conversation. Where would that conversation even go??

if it's a religious conviction then that's different, you don't want to touch that lol but some people just culturally think they have to i would like to set up a charity for to educate those people that they can in fact just not reproduce and spend afternoons in bed in their jammies eating malteasers and drinking rose wine instead

I mean if science could follow up the idea that above a certain middle age conservatism was in the majority you could argue that any population that cravedcontinual advancement would want to cull its population at or around that age to ensure younger, more experimental voices drove proceedings. But really we need rid of slow to evolve meat bodies and rely on technology. Look at me versus the iphone. Its advanced amazingly and I got fat and boring.

should i ever have a sufficiently stable life i would adopt an unwanted child - the fixation of so many people on having a child that carries their dna when there are so many perfectly good children wanting homes boggles my mind tbh

Some ladies want babies. How many actual unwanted ones are there? Like is there a list of babies or a list of adopters?

Adoption is pretty hard AFAIK, you (quite properly) have to go through a bunch of stuff to prove your suitability and ability to care for a child. Making your own is something you can easily bang out in ten minutes.

crispix posted:well no not if you're gay that's what i was talking about really But I agree with you on adoption tbh, it seems a lot better to take in an existing unwanted kid than put out another. I have a couple of adopted cousins - my aunt and uncle had a couple biological children, then fostered and eventually adopted children from "difficult" backgrounds and really put a lot into giving them as good a start in life as they could. I have a lot of respect for that.

My gay friends have spent a couple of years ramping up to it and it is a big deal and they seem like theyve maybe felt like they have to prove themselves in every way possible including being incredibly rich and moving house to the country and everything to pass whatever test it is to adopt. But at the same time both my heterosexually coupled brothers have had sprogs in the last couple of years and one made a poo poo tonne of effort and the other one just sort of did it. So maybe you can do gay adoption the same, make an effort or not. I dunno.

You've never complained before. What I suppose I meant to say is that my observed experience of i dunno traditional heterosexual couples having a baby is very varied and so just because the only gay couple I know seem to have made extreme efforts to satisfy either themselves or other people that they are worthy to adopt doesnt mean thats the only way it has to be. It was supposed to be positive. I hosed it up.
