I cannot help but think, “Why couldn’t they just adopt?”(There are an estimated 30 million orphans in India alone, though all don’t fall under the legal adoption umbrella).; “Why did they not think twice about the planet folding like a flimsy sheet of paper under the exploding human population?” I wonder if these thoughts ever cross the minds of the millions around the world who had and have chosen to get pregnant? I must specify that I’m not talking about the men and women who do not have access to contraceptives and education. I am speaking of the men and women who have the luxury of choice to conceive children or not, access to education and money to invest in contraceptives and practice family planning.

We humans are not pragmatic enough as a species to exercise moral restraint and undo our destructive ways of living. If we really are pragmatic, why are we not taking this dire population crisis issue more seriously, and addressing it dedicatedly? Why is it not talked about as much as its more famous and closely related cousin, climate change? Clearly the two are closely and irrevocably linked. Then is it because, it is simply too inconvenient a truth to admit to?
...
Unfortunately, human population control and family planning is not even on the agenda of most conservation organisations across the world. This, despite the fact that unsustainable rise in population renders even the best conservation efforts weak.
...
We have a long way to go before we as a species are mature enough to own up to the devastation of the planet that we are causing and to take certain ‘unselfish’ decisions. More than loyalty to your country and land, it’s loyalty to your planet that I think is important, loyalty to your own species and other species too. This is our only home. And it is up to us.

The problem with a lot of breeders is that they don't think. They just do. They don't consider the consequences of having a kid, either for themselves or what it means to the rest of the world. Some have the arrogance to believe that their little rocket scientists will grow up to solve world problems. The truth is, more tards are being born than we know what to do with.
