Once the egg is fertilized, the decision to procreate has already been made.

Somehow you have changed topics to abortion. If you want to talk about that, I guess we can, but the discussion was about population growth, or lack of same. There was a column posted that bemoaned the slow and negative growth of populations in Europe, a couple of posters chimed in about what a problem that was, and I challenged them to explain why it's a problem.

There has been for some time now a trend toward smaller families and no families. It is a natural trend. No state compulsion involved. I questioned why that trend was a problem. First you responded about compulsion. Then you responded about abortion. Like I said, we can talk about either if you like, but that's not what the ongoing discussion was about.

Do you know of some reason why slow or no population growth is inherently problematic?
