EcoTrain Question Of The Week Season 6#8: Should we have children whilst So many kids in the world are suffering?

Tracing back the cosmology of reproduction by religious belief, reproduction was initiated by God. His agenda was that man fill the earth and take dominion over the animals, birds of the air, and other creatures, but as men began to multiply, evil emerged and suffering began. Note, suffering started since the time of our ancestors, it's not a new phenomenon that emerged in our generation but a trail that has been passed down to our time. To seize reproduction may seem good to the eyes but its implications are more harmful, the issue behind reproducing is not whether procreation should stop, it's why we reproduce, this question is what makes reproduction a personal choice to make.

First of all, yes, we still should have children. Mother Earth is still existing because we were born, imagine if the world comes to a consensus that reproduction should seize, the world will only exist as long as our children live and ends when they all die. Kids are indeed suffering, however, I could relate it to the psychology of life because everyone suffers, the rich and poor inclusively, what differs is the peculiarity of what they suffer. Have you ever noticed that everything we work for is mostly not entirely for our wellbeing but our children and family? This means, working and surviving will be of less relevance if we stop having children and there would no longer be any need for marriage.

China regulates its population through reproduction, the higher the population is the lower the number of children allowed to be born per household and vice versa. Recently they increased this number from 2 to 3 and one may wonder why. The economy is shrinking, the world is suffering, the price for housing, food, transport, etc. Is hiking yet they encourage increase, this tells how reproduction is important to the world at large. Children are the future, this future will stop existing if the world no longer breeds children. The world since creation has been evolving and we envision a time where the world will be a better place, if no people exist, our dreams will all go with us as we perish.

If initially, it wasn't a man's plan to reproduce, it means it would still not be a man's idea to end procreation. The activities handed over to us by our ancestors run in a circle, Birth-Grow-work-marry-reproduce-die, our children take it on and follow the same pattern, if one of the elements from this circle is removed, then human at a point stops existing.
