To which I say: ALL THIS!! In this video, I explore my complex feelings around the decision to have children. I draw from philosophy, the pro- and anti-natalist movements, and my own recent experience with the embryo freezing (IVF) process. Segues include climate change, personal identity as a parent, and the influence of late-stage capitalism on the modern baby question. Am I overthinking this? Probably! But I wouldn't have it any other way.
