I may sound like a crazy parent, but I have no children currently. And I never knew (and don't want to know) how to lose your children. I know some people who've lost. Totally different from how they were behaving before. They have no wish to live, they do everything automatically and don't care about the end of humans as well. We should take care of the environment, that is true. But to release your idea we must have a special thing which will dull the sensitivity. And that sounds like the beginning of the worst anti-utopia ever. People are not able to live without feelings, they won't be people anymore.

This is terribly cynical, but one of the reasons my wife and I had more than one child is exactly this. If one or two of our children die, we still have the need to care for the remaining ones forcing us to get out of bed each day and keep living.

If all of our children died, we would commit suicide together.
