<p>1. Health and bodily changes. I've done some research on what a woman's body goes through and I don't want that to happen to me. I also have several health conditions that are either genetic or thought very strongly to be that I would not wish to pass on to any potential genetic children.</p>
<p>2. Readiness. Right now I am in no financial state to be having a child, and I am also in no state emotionally, mentally or physically due to my various conditions and disabilities. I wouldn't be able to keep up with a child and I wouldn't be able to raise them properly.</p>
<p>3. The state of the world. With the economy in the tank, the state of our education system, eradicated diseases coming back because of anti-vaxxers....How about I don't bring a kid into the world and subject them to all of that? With everything else above it just makes sense.</p>
<p>So yeah, no kiddos for me and that's at least the major factors that have influenced that choice.</p>
