That gene pool has been appropriately chlorinated and Darwin has spoken and all that sort of thing. 'Good!' I say. More for the rest of us then.

She had an abortion and WE are the selfish ones?

But whose to say that the kids we have today aren't going to make some pretty amazing discoveries that may actually change the world?

She sounds overly simplistic, and pessimistic to me.

I used to know a guy with the same philosphy. He was a diagnosed narcissitic addicted to sex. Freak-a-zoid! Truth be told she just did not want to have that baby. Had a psychotic breakdown after her abortion, had to have a hysterectomy and decided it was for the good of the planet after all. Bravo.

Well, she's right.

More people just consume more stuff and people aren't terribly bright about ensuring the suitability of the planet for their progeny. Of course that's the irony - making more babies to satisfy your evolutionary drive for immortality pretty much wrecks it for the people you make. That being said, I don't feel too ashamed about "selling out" and creating a family; family is a question of personal security, and I'm totally cool with being an animal. Meh.
