Quite frankly at this age, would having a child be in the best interest of the child? I think not. It's not fair to my wife and I, it's not fair to the child (who is on the receiving end of that dice roll) and it's not fair to whoever would have to pick up the pieces if something happens to my wife and I. I have never wanted fatherhood as a young man. Now that I'm embracing my geezerhood - I sure do not now. At the age of 48 I’ve not felt any twinges of a bio clock.

I never had the urge then, nor now, at age 46. I wake up each day very glad I do not have children. I have the same non-urge to have children as I do to go skiing, eat sushi, or to walk into the ladies room (I am male). I knew since I was 20 years old that I never wanted to have children.
