Boris:"IF it was the issue, then we would be very similar to the Nazis in trying to create a superior race of humans. " Hey, the Nazis had some things almost right. OYOH, they did favor large families for getting a plentiful supply of soldiers. In a news item this morning, “Kids Might Drive You to an Early Grave”
A photo caption:”The Stewart family is pictured in Spokane in 1889. Studies show that each child born in the family may not only have shortened lifespan of the parents, especially the mother, but his or her own, particularly children born late in the mother’s life.“ For starters, I found this link: http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0033-5770(196406)39%3A2%3C130%3AFPOMAL%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Y In brief: Okay, there are advantages to limiting family size. The mother carries a disproportionate burden. Anyway, it is shown like that in some studies of large families of the late 1800s
