The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about whether public health agencies should advise women to postpone pregnancy because of potential virus-related risks. Not surprisingly, there are multiple ethical considerations to such recommendations, with reproduction ultimately being a very personal and private decision. One important factor is the control many women (although admittedly not all) are able to exercise in choosing their risk exposure to the coronavirus. That is a stark contrast to the risks associated with the climate crisis, where the very air women breathe and the heat waves they are exposed to increase pregnancy-related complications. A recent study reveals
Neelu is too stupid to reproduce. My advice: Don't

Do us all a favor DOCTOR.
Recent medical studies by clinical researcher indicate that offspring raised by idiots tend to become morons.
I vote you don't have any.

"A recent study reveals that roughly 25% of childless adults consider climate change in their decision not to have children." Of these, probably 95% of them are white women. White people already are a very small fraction of the world's population, but they must be eliminated so we may have Diversity.

If you're still not sure, then maybe you just don't want children. It's not a crime.
Having children is a full time, long time commitment.

Let see, the death rate for babies from Coronavirus is less than 0.01%. So, sure, use the virus as an excuse.
If you don't want to have a baby, just be honest and don't have one. Stop trying to make yourself into some sort of "hero".
My husband and I had 3 children. I wish I could have had a couple more. They have been an incredible blessing, and they are all doing good things with their lives. I guess it's all in your perspective!!!

If you are questioning whether to have a child or not due to the "climate", do the kid a favor and abstain. Unbelievable. The more libs not wanting children, THE BETTER.

If you have taken the climate change fraud seriously or provided a Nigerian prince your bank account information it would be best if you get yourself neutered and not risk passing on the stupid gene.

If you're that gullible, ignorant and stupid, then, no, don't have kids and the gene pool will definitely be improved by that minuscule amount.

Maybe if we combine the "Roe Effect" with a "Climate Change Effect", us normals will eventually outbreed the crazy leftists. But then we need to keep our offspring away from the brainwashing in government schools.

The McPaper. I suggest the good doctor not breed. Your child would feel sorry for existing and no one deserves that.

I hope that ALL these leftist lunatics don't have a single child. THAT would make the world a better place.
One niece has four beautiful children, and I have told them that we will subsidize all their education costs, so don't let that limit your choice as to how many children to have. Another very strong Catholic friend has six kids. Bless them, they are our future,if we can keep them away from the government schools.

The Covid should have nothing to do with a decision to have a child.
I worry more about the world people will bring their children in to.
The Government war against white people and religion is a much more important problem than a Virus that will be gone soon.

The quality of USA Today is not the best these days. With the advance of better quality internet news sites, what were once reasonable newspapers have turned to scare-mongering for sales. If the climate crisis is so existential, why haven't sea levels risen in the way they were predicted to rise? Perhaps there's too much "mulling" on the part of some people these days.

Prosperous, intelligent people should have children. Do they think the children of generational welfare will be the ones to solve all of the world's problems?

You shouldn't. Not because there is anything wrong with the climate, but because you're obviously a silly ass and a danger to your future children. Better not take chances.

Every person born will die regardless. Technology will ultimately save no one. A moment of life is greater than death. I don't think I would want to have Dr. Tummala making life and decisions for me when I'm old.
Linking a reproductive decision to climate change also makes no sense. Climate change has been killing people for millions of years and will continue to do so because we cannot control the sun which is 95% responsible. It's amazing how technically educated people can be so ignorant of basic science outside their field. Poorly educated people are misled, well educated people are brainwashed.
I pity Dr. Tummala and all modem liberally educated women who find reasons not to be mothers. As I jog through the park and see a family with two, three or four kids, I smile and admire them. They are the richest, most blessed people in the world. When I pass well healed childless couples, I thank God I'm not them.
