Weirdly, this post made me realize that not a single one of my siblings or cousins has reproduced, and that’s 7 on one side and 12 or so on the other, plus 3 for myself and siblings. And we are mostly mid 30s to early 50s.

Even if I was interested in having children, I can barely afford to house and feed myself while making well-above median income.

Bold of you to assume they'll be able to afford an iron lung.

This reminded me of how my wife who isn't chronically online heard that Markiplier was making that Iron Lung movie. She knew who he was from me, so she was very confused why he would male a movie where he was in an Iron Lung and people would want to watch.
