Greetings Lava! :)

Well...you would probably not be the one who needs most to stop multiplying.
But as someone pointed out, it is possible to do that. China managed to make people stop multiplying (as much). Through incentives - like with everything else.

Is it ethical? To me, yes. It is very ethical.

In theory, from this age on, I could probably have at least 5-6 kids if I just went with the flow. In reality, I will only have two at the most. That is a given. Will I miss the other potential 4? Not at all. Not even a bit. Because I will make sure they will never exist.

To me, the other potential four would be the potential enemies and competitors of my first planned two. Fewer resoures for each one separately, less of my attention for each one, lower quality of life for all of them. Why would I want to do that? Because I don't have the minimum amount of decency to give just a thought about the potential lives of these 6 kids?

Am I going to keep reproducing just becasue I can?
NO.

Would I pass incentives for everyone to have fewer children? If I could I would. Would I support a leader who would plan to do that? Yes, I would.

Birth control is a God-sent. Use your brain and use it.
