53. I grew up with the conviction the human race will destroy itself
That and watching an aunt suffer through ten or more pregnancies out of which she had six live children. She was pregnant from 1956 to 1970 almost continuously and was not a woman who carried or delivered babies easily.
About the time I started to believe that humans wouldn't start a global nuclear war, the first books about overpopulation and climate effects started to come out.
All that, along with a family history of manic depression persuaded me to not bring children into this world.
