Suicide by Culture
Wow that&#x27;s well below replacement fertility. Also dysgenic since intelligent and responsible people are <i>more</i> likely to follow the moral fad. For me it demonstrates the importance of obeying my conscience and not caring what neighbours and other people might say. It&#x27;s easier for me to do that nowadays since I&#x27;m not dependent on a local network of reciprocal favours in order to survive. But still I wonder how many neighbouring families both secretly wanted another child but were each afraid what the other might think.
