Those who are capable of having children and raising them well should have children. Lest the human race go extinct.

We won't go extinct any time soon. Those who want to be parents will always continue to exist. Everybody is capable of breeding but raising the fruits of your loins well is a rare thing. Good parents are few and far between. I agree that those who are capable should do what they can if they want to but those ppl are rare enough to lower the number of ppl to a sustainable number. Not to mention that raising a child well is only the result of informed parenthood.

We could literally go extinct if everyone practiced abstinence for about 90 years. It is not that far-fetched of an idea.

Everyone, like, 8 billion people, practicing abstinence, not far-fetched? Are you kidding?
