Re: “Why dads, not ‘duds,’ matter for the baby bust” (Sept. 3, Opinion):
For our nation, together with many others, to be pushing for the next birthrate appears to me shortsighted at finest. It’s true {that a} decrease birthrate will trigger preliminary ache and wish for adjustment, however what’s our different? To maintain flooding the Earth with increasingly more people till there is no such thing as a room or assets left?
It looks as if an enormous Ponzi scheme — to enlarge one technology to pay for the final technology and so forth. When and the place does it cease? I consider that now could be the time we ought to be holding the road — not growing our birthrate — and inspiring different nations to do the identical.
