Given an approximate world population of 6.77 billion, the percentage is 7%, not 0.07%. “According to Marvin Minsky, a population of about 500 million is sustainable, less than a percent of the current population (0.07%)”

I originally planned to have kids, but my husband and I have decided not to. In fact, I am so interested in the subject matter, that I am writing a book called "Kidfree & Lovin' It", for which I have an online survey that over 2,600 childfree and childless people around the world have taken. I would love you to take it too. Just click on this link to take you there, and you can remain anonymous if you like: http://tinyurl.com/Kidfree-Survey By the way, the worldwide birthrate is going down lately (it's now 2.61), as fewer people are opting to have children. But that's still above the replacement rate of 2.1. Ironically, the U.S. is at 2.1, because while the educated people are having fewer kids, the immigrants are having over 3 each, making up for our decrease. One in five U.S. women are not having children now, as opposed to one in ten in 1976. I hope you take the survey. Thanks, and enjoy! KidfreeKaye www.kidfreeandlovinit.com Great post!
