Sometimes I do wonder what is the need for reproduction when there are so many kids suffering out there for survival, many are ophans, some have parents but their parents couldn't afford to take adequate care of them due to poverty and some are just helpless roaming round the streets without anyone to help them. It is really necessary to reproduce? instead of adopting some of this helpless children and take good care of them and make them to understand that life is not that difficult as they feel because most of this children grow up with the mentality that the society is unkind to them, they become unhappy and feel so inferior of themselves while growing up, some have mental issues due to the unfortunate situations they have found themselves.
Is there a way to help this children grow and become better persons in the future instead of bringing more children to this world.
Well, here's my question to you, are you and your partner willing to adopt a child if you don't want to procreate or have a kid of your own? That's an easy yes or no question but it will answer your question about the need to procreate. Sure, it's a noble cause to adopt a kid but not everyone shares that philosophy because they want to the feeling of creating something, they want something of their own blood and people don't really like the idea of adopting someone that they don't have any semblance with, the factor of emotions plays with this issue too, some kids when they grow up, they might want to look for their biological parents and that would definitely hurt their adoptive parents even if it's the kid's rights. If we really want to help these kids, we need to campaign for reproductive health and the use of contraceptives, teaching people that children are a big responsibility and prevention of teenage pregnancy would probably do more than not creating a new life.
Being a responsible parent is better than not having one because a population collapse is definitely something that would end our civilization if we continue having this mindset where we try to justify having no kids is better than having any kids. Sure there's the economic challenges but people will always be able to change those stuff, if we only banded together when it comes to this things, it's probably going to be alright but we're long way from that from ever happening.
