I have two Sons in their 50s and neither have reproduced (as far as I know 
).
This makes me sad on the one hand and pleased on the other.
Sad because there will be no one to 'carry on my line' which is, I think, one of the main driving forces behind having children - hoping you will have grandchildren.
And pleased because there will be zero contribution to over population - minuscule compared to the world birth-rate though that may be.
Edit.
No grandchildren - so I'm OK, then...
