I have no desire to have kids. My DNA is of poor-quality (I have Cancer, Diabetes, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Anger Issues, Slow Metabolism, Craziness, and Depression in my family genetics). Not to mention the world is overpopulated and I have no intention of adding to it. I also don't want children because I don't want them to ever suffer in this life. IIN?
No, it's not bad at all that you don't want to be a mother, in fact it's a very kind decision that your making. You listed all of the potential illnesses your child could have, and by choosing to not have a child, you aren't passing those problems down and causing a bad life for your child.
Some people just aren't meant to be mothers, and others just have bad genetic backgrounds. Your actually doing the right thing.
Your opinion over time may change, but if it does remember to go to genetic counseling and make sure your partner doesn't have any genetic problems as well.
You're making a very mature decision, kudos to you for realizing the harshness of the world and thinking about others.
I feel the same way! As much as I want kids, the world is overpopulated enough and eventually there won't be any resources to keep us all alive. I don't have any disorders or problems but I think your choice is normal. Adoption isn't a bad choice like viglen said. :) I'm thinking about doing it myself when I'm in my 30s.
