Not all of them worked at my end, either.

I'm aware of the source, but I treated the quotes as accurate (and as not
having been taken too far out of context).

Primarily: "Having children is selfish. It's all about maintaining your
genetic line at the expense of the planet," says Toni, 35.

Apart from inaccurate -- how does she explain the desire of many childless
couples to adopt? -- it is illogical.  I still don't understand why she and
her husband don't kill themselves.  I'm not joking or being flippant,
because it would be possible for them to do it painlessly.

How is her failure to commit suicide not "all about maintaining [her]
genetic line at the expense of the planet"?
