I never said I can choose. Its just that the author of the thread was asking us to have "Less Kids"!

So I asked How much less?

By less I mean.......maybe choose to have none, one or two

maybe get a visectomy or get your tubes tied after your sure you dont want any more.

9 billion of us with increasing consumption as more countries (china,india) become more developed will be way over sustainable levels.

Its the easiest and most effective thing individuals can do to try an hand our descendants a sustainable and robust planet.

But what about the reduction in gene pool diversity if lots of people stop having children?

Jokes apart. In india since about last 15 years we have family planning program "Hum Do hamare do" which means "We two, our Two".

Problem with india is its underdevelopment of infrastrucutre (pardon my spelling). Most of indians have nothing to do for fun, except sex. Plus poor people engange in sex using their ultra low cost or free condoms (around USD 0.013) which are "highly reliable".

Do you think they would be intrested in vasectomies or tubular ligations??? If they were provided for free??? As you are saying the births are not intentional.
