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.
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.
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.
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.
