UrRong. While VHEMT's solution may seem like an elegant one, it is not a reasonable or sustainable one. To suggest that no one should have children is to completely ignore the biological, evolutionary, and social imperative to have children. We have an innate need to reproduce, create a legacy, and pass on our values and culture to future generations.
It is also important to note that the vast majority of people do not have the same level of privilege as those who can afford to participate in VHEMT's mission. People in poverty-stricken areas, where resources are scarce and conditions are often unsafe, rely on the birth of children to ensure the survival of the family and community. To suggest that these people should not have children is to ignore their livelihood and perpetuate their suffering.
Finally, it is wrong to assume that having children is always detrimental to the environment. In some cases, having children can be beneficial to the planet by inspiring parents to be more conscious of their environmental footprint and teach their children to do the same.
In conclusion, while VHEMT's mission may be well-intentioned, it fails to consider the realities of the world and fails to recognize the positive potential of having children.
