      Now will we stop having kids no I don't think so will the government try to make it so of course. Why? Cause they can. It's like pinky and the brain. They are nervous. But they want to live forever themselves have no poor people etc.. the greatest thing is life experiences and babies. Enjoy life although if this technology comes out would I try it to live linger of course. But think if it regenerates u it should also rejuvenate all parts of the body.

    There's already a movie about this. It's called "Children of Men".
    Also, many people are opting out of having kids because they either can't afford them and don't want to struggle or because they work long hours and don't have the time or energy to raise kids. Some people are struggling with mental health and don't want to subject a child to their instability and some people just don't care for children and don't want to put up with them or subject one to their indifference. Governments are also sticking their noses in people's family planning and younger people are scared they won't get to make their own choices so they are jumping the gun and choosing to sterilize themselves because some of them no longer have the choice to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy when they are younger so they can wait until they are older and ready to have kids.

    I think once the population gets low enough we may all consolidate together for community rather than just living spottily around the world. Also I don't buy that people don't look for long term partners anymore. That's to suggest children are the only reason we pair up for such a thing. We do it for a more immediate reason than just reproducing.. It's called intimate companionship. You can't get that from a one night casual relationship.

      They are socially engineering the depopulation. I've heard that up to 50 percent of women will be single in the next 10 to 20 years. they are emasculating men and masculating women. Men generally are not attracted by masculine women and generally women are not attracted by feminine men. This is why the hook up culture is now dominating western society especially in young people. There is a literal assault on the nuclear family and what will become of all these things is uncertain.

    There would be an obvious decline in population when childbirths decrease. People nowadays, especially those in their 20s to 30s, prioritize their careers first and foremost. The income they earn may not even be enough to raise a whole family. I guess times have really changed these days. Seems like China, South Korea, and Japan are most affected by birth declines.

      Before when we were am agricultural species, having morenkids mean more labor on the farm.
      Now with industrial machines doing most of the farming, humans have moved to the cities for work.
      In the city, having kids becomes a burden and a liability. They don't provide anything and they cost lots of money. People tend for favor double income, no kids lifestyle.
      Something needs to change in society to make having kids no longer a burden. Idk what, but maybe humanity is on it's way out. Plus, with machines and AI on the rise, there probably isn't much of a future for humanity anyway.

    @cityskylines11 Год назад +7

    Are you sure this is supposed to be hypothetical? It sure sounds a lot like reality right now. It sounds like the whole western world. We are having fewer kids (especially Japan) and people are protesting, rioting and looting more than ever. People who have kids tend to keep to themselves and move away from the city to a nicer suburban area. Also, most cities are consolidating or tearing down and closing more schools than they are building by far. I think we have all lived a life, as kids growing up, that was of such a high standard that we feel like we aren't in a position to have children. I know I didn't want to have kids unless I could give them something close to or better than what I had growing up. In the past every generation did a little better than the one before. You were supposed to build on what your parents laid down for you and give you kids a better life than you had. That just isn't happening anymore. The quality of life has dropped over the last 30 or 40 years but it's dropped drastically over the past 10 or 20 years. Now instead of living in a house, with a nice sized yard, we are living in an apartment that is hardly big enough for one person but it houses 3. The jobs are gone to overseas markets that are more cost effective and easier to exploit. Our grandparents were able to have one parent work, usually the father, and the mother stayed at home and took care of/taught the kids. They were able to do this and still live comfortably. Our parents were able to have one of them work a full-time job and the other (mother) would work a part-time one and then take care of the children the rest of the time. They too could do this and still live a good lifestyle. Nowadays, we are in a situation where, both parents have to work full-time and even have second jobs but it's still hard to makes ends meet. I think this is the main cause for the decline of population in all first world/western countries. Most people just don't realize that it is happening to the extent that it is because the world's elites and globalist politicians have decided to open our borders to any and everyone around the world no matter where they come from or why they come. It's all about being able to exploit cheap labor and creating a new tax base that will help pay for the insane debt our politicians have run up. The people coming are used to a lifestyle that is not nearly as nice as we are used to and therefore they don't feel that bringing a kid into this world is an issue at all. If you come from a 3rd world country, then living in an apartment in some US city and working for minimum wage isn't so bad. They have no trouble making babies in that environment. I can't forget to mention one other cause for our decline in baby making. I think a whole lot of people are spoiled rotten and don't want a kid getting in the way of their fun. They are selfish and think it's all about them. A kid would just be a drag for those kinds of folks. Still the current climate is the biggest deterrent in my opinion. I would feel wrong for bringing a kid into this awful world we have become. We all need to get back to our roots and traditions and stop allowing people in both elected and non elected positions, determine the path we all are taking. The rich globalists and political class are in it for themselves and view us all as less than them. They don't care about us and we need to take back the reigns so a new path can be forged in a direction that is more sustainable and better for the majority rather than the tiny minority.

      This hypothetical scenario is one where the fertility rate drop to zero within a few years, which simply isn't realistic. Some studies estimate that the global population will begin to decline sometime in the 2060s. There's projected to still be massive growth in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa.
      Other countries are going to have to deal with civil and economic strife from having a ton of old people and not that many young, working age people to support them. Certain regions, like East Asia, are especially prone. If you look at a country like China, they have an extremely unhealthy population pyramid.
