"Having children has become a selfish choice". Florence(top left), 24, subjected herself to tubectomy in April 2018 in order to never become pregnant, after reading that "having one less child" would reduce CO2 emissions.
As for David(top right), 33, who was vasectomised last February, he believes that giving birth to a child inevitably leads to animal exploitation, and is risky for the child itself. "Since January, newborns have to undergo four vaccines that are tested firsthand on animals. Children are forced to drink milk, to eat their meat to become strong and to fit norms. We use transgenic soy to feed the beasts that are eaten by children before falling sick. The quality of life that we offer them makes like not worth living".
Lou(bottom right), 27, went through the same surgery in October and holds a similar discourse. "We will be lacking resources soon and I don't want to have to raise a child in this situation".
I imagine they probably froze their eggs or sperm, and can have children later. They look very young, so the rate of success is much higher than old women who freeze at age 40

there will probably be some frankenstein fertility Chinese technology in 2040 that will allow all of them to have biological children

The cathars were a bunch of occitan monkeys who got what was coming to them
