TBH, if someone bases their decision whether or not to have children on their ecological impact to the world, I would suspect that they're mentally ill.

Like most things, I think this is a little more complicated.

If somebody doesn't want to subject future generations to the reality of catastrophic climate change, are they mentally ill?

TBH, I think anybody who has kids and still bothers to recycle is incredibly delusional.

If we just want to label people whose decisions make us uncomfortable as "mentally ill" I guess that's our right.
