Anchor,
I have also "seen it coming" and also decided not to have any children. As it is, I personally feel it would be the most selfish and irresponsible act I could perform as a woman, to bring a child into an uncertain future. I also agree that many people are unfit to parent. This crosses all social and economic lines. Sad but true.

Peace of Mind,
Worm

I just wanted to add: When I am asked by my other lady friends about my opinion on this, they are generally shocked and think I have a problem. My opinion is generally met with distain and anger. I am turning 40 soon, my biological clock is a whisper in comparison to the melting glaciers and lack of food and love that is so apparent to me. I think that I have made the right choice for me, one that I can live with. I chose to not have children because I care about the future; not because I do not have the instinct to nurture.
