Is this a benefit to society? Is it a good thing to facilitate motherhood for childless cat ladies? Would you want to be a teenage son to such a mother?

Seriously, what do you think?

This is a free country. White men don't get to determine everybody's lifestyle.

Yet Planned Parenthood still targets black women for abortions. And you give them money for it.

Free country? I thought you poor Black folk were being victimized by a Racist America?

Girls, I want you to meet your daddy.

If they can afford IVf then whats to stop them? If i were them id stay child free, but thats their choice and not the nations business.

We need the numbers. The lack of a father will be a problem for them.

I say, mixed bag, overall, I give it a C -.

Our numbers are not a problem though. In that regard things are fine.

Yeah, that's crazy talk.

 

[initforme]

Yeah, that's crazy talk.

So our numbers arent goid? Please explain.

Our birth rate is not replacement level.

 

[initforme]

Our birth rate is not replacement level.

It will bounce back in the distant future perhaps. Birthrates ebb and Flow. Theres no talk of it on any respectable media outlets. Hence not a concept people are concerned about. Its more about affording to.survive now.

That is will not help in the short or medium term.

YOu are talking shit.

Birthrates ebb and Flow.

We as a species, have never seen something like this. YOu are lying. The question is why.

Theres no talk of it on any respectable media outlets.

Which calls into question, what the **** is wrong with the mainstream media. They are really, really, REALLY dropping the ball here.

Not for the first time either. Sounds like we as a people, need to shit can the traditional media and find a new one.

Hence not a concept people are concerned about.

Well, somewhat true. Plenty of people who don't allow their world view to be based on the shit nonsense of the mainstream media, are concerned and discussing the problem.

Its more about affording to.survive now.

Worry about today, and don't worry about the future?

Yeah, that's a real healthy attitude.


Especially when you consider what it says about our current culture.

I don't think it really needs to be....I'd be fine with a 1970 level population.

We have gained 135 million people since then for no good reason that I can see.

It is not difficult to see a dystopian future, and one affected by Artificial Lifeforms and Artificial Intelligence. Where humans are not birthed by women and are in some form of birthing factory you see in sci fi movies. Artificial Lifeforms will be mates to humans for everyday living and sex.

 

[sparky]

what's interesting is the more educated are going the IVF avenue.....~S~

When people are struggling to barely hang on theyre not too worried about the future. Rightfully so.. that being said does anyone have an issue with ivf? If so, why?

 

[sparky]

I'd only worry that da gub'mit might get involved......~S~

Not everything needs to benefit society.

That's fair. Like most things as you say it's a mixed bag.
