I'm not interested in having kids either, but I've virtually devoted my life to science. I'd much rather put all that energy into a research project or several - why raise children in an already overpopulated world with appalling distribution of wealth and failing energy resources, when you can divest that energy into a career that can help develop solutions for aforementioned problems and set a better stage for future generations to have kids of their own?
Besides, children are dirty and noisy. That's an instant dealbreaker for me.
The wprld's not going in a great direction for the next generation either, that's a good point. We need scientists a lot more than we need children. I hope no one implies that you should give up your work to raise children (if you're a woman).
I don't think children are worth the effort
