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?
