It is good to hear that at least some persons are
finding that there are higher values or at least
more rewarding activities in *this life* than bringing
into this world more warm squirming bodies -- even
if "they can afford them" (even if money has no
limit, life time does, so that even the very rich, if
they do not outsource and offload the whole enterprise, have to
pay a price in terms of other
life values, for having lots of children).
Perhaps Garrett Hardin was not *entirely* correct in
believing that the will and the right to *unlimited procreation*
is the one right that "people" are not willing to
give up even if it means giving up all other
potential rights.
"Just say no."
