"Knocking someone up whilst on the run is a horrible idea."

"But impregnating someone while still on the run assumes that you will be able to establish a safe location within those 2 months. That would be preferable, but what happens if you were unable to do so? Suddenly you've got an increasingly impaired pregnant woman and still no established shelter. You wind up with severly limited relocation ability, and a woman more vulnerable. And if she dies, well, that's one less person capable of continuing humanity. I say that you need to keep women (and children) as safe as possible, and put off the pregnancies until you have a reasonably safe location I jsut don't see the benefit of adding more stress onto an already unimaginably stressful situation."

"Ya, I know- I'm going to Hell for that.
But at least it's the seanic rtoute."

"Of age? Now what do mean by that? Any female that is physically able to have children? This would require us to do away with the idea that they are unable to deal with having children. I suppose in anyone who can cope with murderous hordes of zombies is capable of dealing with procreation... Or did you jsut mean any woman of some random age like 18 or older?"

"I agree that sex is a great way to occupy some time and relieve stress. I also think that the timing isn't as important as the ablilty to reproduce. All women that are of age and ability should be protected and well fed so that there is a healthy base with which to restart humanity. (Maybe protect them by having them care for the surviving children. I am a proud modern feminist and would hate to be relegated to watching children while all the men got to go out and kill some zombies, but if it meant I was doing my part to ensure the survival of mankind, I'd gladly turn into supermom.)"

"First, I find it sad that you consider the raising of children as being useless.

Secondly, nobody is suggesting a child every 11 months, but rather that people should have MORE children then they currently consider, over time. HAving 1 child pre couple would lead to population decrease, which will already have decreased significant;y in the event of an outbreak. If people coupled (not necessary to couple, but whatever) and have 6 or 7 children over the course of their reproductive lifetimes, then the population will begin to grow back. In theory, when one looks to the past as a guide, by the final children of the family (#6 or 7) the first is likely grown to adulthood (or at least adolesence) and can be useful.

Finally, the idea that raising children is demeaning is a luxury that has no place in a post-zombie world."
