Am I absolutely mad? Firstly, procreation is very much encouraged by the scriptures.Are you absolutely mad, or just the product of the mad US consumerist culture? The planet is OVERPOPULATED, stretching resources to the limit and still going.
If you want women to prioritise having children into an overpopulated world, which death would you prefer for them to choose for their children? Plague due to living in close proximity, starvation, or war over resources? It will be one of them very soon, if we carry on breeding for fun due to thinking like this.
Secondly, you are very much exaggerating here with your outlandish examples. Most of the world is going through a population bust with people have less and less kids. Do you seriously want to sit in your deathbed and die alone? Once you are on your deathbed, your law degree ain't gonna be with you but be sure that your kids and grandkids will all there be to share the final moments.
