i like OTHER people's babies. doesn't mean i want one.
I can identify with that! Although, of course, my maternal hormones do kick into overdrive from time to time, and I have to spend ages hugging a puppy or something to get it out of my system.
I think I may very well want to raise children some day. But not my own. Apart from not liking the idea of pregnancy, I have serious moral concerns about bringing another human being into this world. Unless some major social changes occur, I can't quite justify doing that, and it's not like I have super-healthy-happy-smart-person genes that are vitally important to share with the next generation.
