And do you really think that the only reason someone doesn't have kids is selfishness?

Not at all! I think often it is very unselfish to not have kids. My argument is with those who look at this and immediately apply the "selfish" label.

I suspect that those who apply the "selfish" label are those who love and cherish their kids and are probably better than average at raising them. Kids seem natural for them, like breathing.

What they don't realize is that some people are emotionally, intellectually or psychologically singularly unsuited for parenthood.

I know! I was piggybacking my question on yours. I guess I shouldn't have replied to you and quoted your question before posing mine, I should have replied to the first post and then quoted your question and added mine.
