Why do some people not want kids?
Imo, It's insulting your whole bloodline that came before you that made the way for YOU to be here TODAY.
Change my mind.

Selfishness mixed with disillusionment. Selfish because they care more about their own lifestyle and think kids would ruin it. Disillusionment because they think the world is overpopulated and humans are a burden.
Well said and I have to agree.

If you don't want kids you shouldn't have them - if you did anyways you'd be insulting your kid & probably much worse.
If you don’t want kids, maybe it’s because you’re epigenetics went wrong with you personally or a flaw in your development. You could also be a specialized instrument of greater value doing something that isn’t compatible with properly raising kids.

I'm listening....
Care to elaborate?
A vocation to holy life such as priesthood and nunnery. Requires discernment before going the celibate path as they prioritize the needs of the community.
Otherwise I fully agree. Have kids. Lots of ‘em.
I was intentionally vague because it could mean so many things. Priest/monk definitely fits and I could see an argument to be made that any positive purpose driven life that keeps one from devoting enough of their to their kids. So if you are a doctor, soldier, scientist, inventor, exc… And you are too focused on your trade/mission to be good to your kids, don’t have them.
