Hindsight is 20/20. At the time, these people _did_ decidee to have and raise children. The problem with survey's is the respondent giving a true answer. If upon reflection they still said they wouldn't have children, think of the guilt feelings. I'm sure that many respondents feel un-fullfilled in some way due to the energy and time they spent on children that left them without a chance to pursue a more self-satisfying role in life. The child can never return as much love and devotion as parents give. Rob
