#011 BABIES

To have babies or not? This question looks outrageous when we decide not to have babies altogether, throughout our lives. It is against nature. We may modify this dilemma as: "To have further babies or not?". Different countries may have their own ceilings on the number of children, their citizens may have. The dilemma arises only after the ceiling is reached. On the other hand, European countries and Japan suffer from declining birth rates. They provide incentives for reproductive couples. The individuals have their own priorities notwithstanding what their countries expect them to do. This world looks weird, but it is not. Are we not here to enjoy our lives fully. Many feel that lives will be barren without children. Hence, at least one baby is a must, apparently.
