"One of the problems with believing a lie is the unforeseen negative ramifications that proceed from it.
Case in point is an idea promoted by Travis Rieder, assistant director of the Berman Institute of Bioethics at John Hopkins University.In a recent interview with NPR, Rieder said that having fewer children “could be the thing that saves us.”
He continued, “Here’s a provocative thought: Maybe we should protect our kids by not having them.” His proposal to advance this idea amounts to a procreation tax, a kind of “carbon tax on kids,” as he called it.
Great idea, let’s make the cost of having and raising children even more expensive.
