While I agree it is time to move on from the conversation that is resulting in criticism of peoples beliefs regarding having children, it would be interesting to hear feedback regarding animals making the decision whether or not to bear children. There are years in which reproduction is reduced or does not occur due to density dependent factors or environmental conditions, or increased mortality of the age-classes that are normally reproductive. However, could animals, for example birds, giving up on young, be interpreted as making a "decision"?
