Well I am 29, of Scandinavian origin and I have no children. Let’s look at this realistically. I do not want children before I am 35. That is my choice and a carefully considered one. A child needs a stable and prosperous home and I need to live my life first as I only have one. This is not egotistic or greed, it is a realization of the situation I am living in, of what human life is and how precious the little time we have on this earth is. Having a child means responsibilities towards that individual that is completely dependent on you for survival. Once you have a child you have relinquished your own life for and with your child which is sacred. A child is not a asset to work on a farm, something to be bargained with or to send alone to a foreign country to make you money. In modern Europe the role of a parent is shared equally by both genders. Women are not baby machines that take care of them while men work for the home. I hope to have a child or children one day and the rest of the world stops overpopulating with regular famine and civil wars. The reality is that I am doing the right thing and the population growth in less developed countries is unsustainable. Sadly, a Chinese style one child policy is the only way to fix this.
