I'm not having kids, it's the only way I can be sure the cycle will be broken.
Besides it feels cruel to bring life into this world when we're on the verge of a climate catastrophe that will almost certainly result in war on a scale we've never seen before in the next few decades when any children born today will be prime drafting age.

Completely agree. Same view.

This is why my husband and I plan to abopt. We don't want to bring a child onto this world, but we can sure help a child that's already here!
