Abstract
As many may have seen, the Telegraph recently featured an article on pronatalism. Simply put, pronatalism is the idea that our future – family groups, specific sectors of society, iterations of our global civilisation, or our very species – depends on people having enough children to ensure a growing population. Without sufficiently high birth rates, according to those the article features, our way of life, indeed, humanity itself, is at risk of destabilisation and destruction. So, to prevent this downfall and all its associated harms, the theory goes, we need to start having more offspring.
