Should they count on you to repopulate the earth?

Are some of the other survivors OB/GYNs? Did we survive near a hospital with a supply of painkillers? These would be big factors in my decision.

More seriously, I would support other people who want to have children, I would consider it myself, but I would fight to my dying breath any system that would require people to reproduce or regulate who can be partnered up as parents.

Sorry, I’m tied up that day.

Honey, even after the apocalypse I still don’t swing that way.

Is the remaining 1% are other Dopers, sure. :wink:

I wouldn’t refuse. I’m not likely to produce children without effort on someone elses part. I like the man on man action. Some lady would have to use a turkey baster or something.

Aww, pookie. Don’t listen to “Evanescence” so much.

Of course I’d want kids. Forget “repopulating the Earth,” I want kids. Kids are great. And there’d be so much room! Things would get better quickly.

I expect it already has done as much in that direction as it can, which helps explain how irrational humanity is. For most people in most of history, the rational choice has been death over life, which inevitably leads to greater and greater levels of species irrationality. The crazy breed, the sane die, basically.

Evanescence ?

I’ve been spayed, and even if I still had all my parts, I’d probably die during pregnancy. I’d probably die fairly soon even without pregnancy, as I require a dozen prescribed drugs a day to stay in fair health.

I’d do everything I could to help re-populate and get civilization going again.

Why not? There wouldn’t be a hell of a lot else to occupy one’s time, and I already have skills and knowledge that would be helpful in primitive circumstances.

I’d have children too, if some clever survivor knew how to reverse the snip-snip procedure. Otherwise, the Hot Survivor Chicks[sup]TM[/sup] would just have to use me for fun and direct their serious reproductive efforts elsewhere.

C’mon man either life is worth living or it isn’t. Obviously life it is still worth living to you. There is no barely about it.
I would prob have kids. Why not? Even if the human race doesn’t make a comeback I have lost little in trying.

You know the phrase “I wouldn’t go out with you if you were the last man on earth!”?

Well, let’s just say I probably wouldn’t get much of an opportunity to repopulate the earth.

Oh hell yes. Hell. Yes.

I wouldn’t want to bring a child in to THIS world, let alone one that is 10x the chaos.

I’ll take care of the surviving puppies and kitties while everyone else procreates, thanks. I’ll also be there to pay their welfare.

No. I honestly don’t think it’s a big deal if humanity dies out. It will happen sooner or later anyway.

If I got to drive around in one of them Mad Max cars, I would do anything… even repopulate the earth with Tina Turner :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve never been pregnant, I’m post-menopausal and I have a serious genetic disorder. Three strikes…I’m OUT!

No Internets? Shoot me now!

I agree with **Magnetout **on this one.

I wouldn’t be crushed to learn that humanity would die out.

AAAH! Not after witnessing that.

I would kindly ask you to stay outta my cars please.
