I'm curious if the desire to -not- reproduce as a "choice" (for some) isn't similar to the "choice" one makes as to their true sexuality. It seems the problem is that the overwhelming need to reproduce is seen as a natural instinct and a stated "choice" by some to not reproduce is therefor unnatural - the other. An other that in a broad sense may be destined for extinction. Except, and I say again -for some-, it wasn't really ever a true "choice" - even though they may have thought so.

Does it seem logical to suspect that the drive felt by an individual to reproduce (or not) could be a DNA thing, an urge then naturally found stronger in some than in others?
