Letters to the Editor: Stop haranguing childless adults. They’re fighting overpopulation
To the editor: Thanks to columnist Jean Guerrero for her thoughtful piece on being childless in her mid-30s. I have three nieces past childbearing age, and they’ve never received any comment from me about their decisions not to have children.
That said, this issue has lessons in population dynamics. The subject may be a little abstract for some, but the fact that there are now a few thousand times the number of humans as there were when we were hunter-gatherers is bound to make a few think more about the problem.
Efforts to cut the birthrate may have unintended consequences, but these are certainly not unsolvable problems. Guerrero should keep those great columns coming.
