I never want kids either. I have always thought that the best wedding present my husband would get me is to pay to have my tubes tied. I don't mind other people's kids if they're quiet. If they're screaming their heads off I just can't. take. it. I have extreme sensory issues with high-pitched shrieking...
On the overcrowding he has a valid point. I think the world could do with about a 95% reduction in the human population. The planet would be so much better off for it... Yes I'd probably be in the 95%! Doesn't bother me.

It would be safer, easier, and cheaper to just keep sperm out of your vagina.
I was stating what I'd probably do with my own body should I get married, I didn't ask for others' opinions on what to do with my body
As for the cost - if I'm willing or my husband is willing to spend the money on that type of surgery who is anyone to say no?
This coming from someone who in the post above mine seems to be making a diagnosis on MehruneMath.. calling him "Schizoid PD".... I could have sworn that diagnosing others wasn't allowed here?

I'm also a touch confused as to how "Geez, I like kids" as the OP was distorted to a group Dr. Phil session for a fairly new WPer, but okay.
MM, you do you. That's all you get the right to do. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don't want kids, don't make them. Some of us have to continue the population, though. What if you can't finish your work in time? 
I personally do enjoy the company of "well-behaved" (AKA, not openly defiant) children. I don't like the noise of screaming either, but I think that's more because screaming indicates something is wrong rather than the noise. (Don't get me wrong, the noise itself isn't roses.)
I think childrearing could be a satisfying experience. You need to be with the right person to help you, and I do hope I can find a guy that wants that as well. I tend to go after men who also have AS or AS tendencies, so I know it's not going to be easy to find. But's that's happiness for me. 
But yes, OP, you aren't alone. If I thought I was extraverted enough, I probably would have gone into Special Education for elementary schools, or a general elementary school teacher. Children in general light up my world in a way I never had growing up. (TL;DR- I had a father who would physically abuse my siblings and my mother was harboring her own emotional battles.)
I'm content plugging away at a math degree, though, probably going to try for graduate school. That's another thing too, OP. Even if that's what you want, don't let it be all of your life. Very few people get paid to make babies all day (legally, anyway).

I would like to apologize to anyone I had offended earlier as I was in a very bad mood. I don't hate children, nor do I have a problem with those whom choose to reproduce. I love people and yes I do have feelings, just not when I'm pissed off, apparently.

You seem like a nice person, however you completely missed the point of what I was implying earlier. It also has nothing to do with my work specifically as there's thousands of others doing the same/similar projects. I was serious earlier when I said humanity and artificial intelligence will merge, however emotions will be a apart of that. They may even be enhanced by the technology we're creating.

I used to be in Norwell, actually, by Plymouth and Scituate. Moved out of there when I was 11. I may come back to Boston if the right places take me for graduate school.
I think that we'll have to adapt to more technology in our lives as it develops. Personally, I don't think that the ethics behind "robot-assisted reproduction" will be resolved in any of our lifetimes. However, I think that what we do have can be used for truly groundbreaking work. My personal interest deals with using 3D mathematical modeling techniques on compounds to understand pharmacokinetics and other properties of biochemical molecules.

That's interesting!
Good luck in your studies.
I didn't mean "robot-assisted reproduction" either, I meant we will no longer need to reproduce as technology doesn't "die". We're going to merge with it overtime and prehaps even upload our consciousness into digital storage drives for backups and use bodies merely as a vessel. It does sound crazy now, but this is where we're heading. Even Steven Hawking and Kurzweil agree, among many other brilliant minds of our time. I hope to assist with the programming and maths work where necessary.

That begs a lot of questions, too. Will we no longer need medicine? Will we retain sentience? What if, heaven forbid, there was no more power going to the system? Would all of humanity be wiped out by something so basic as a power outage? It kind of reminds me of a more futuristic Sword Art Online plot, truthfully. But it's fascinating and terrifying all at the same time.
I'm actually learning Java; it's a part of the curriculum here to take a basic programming course. It's going at a snail's pace though.

I like kids, and kids like me. That's why I'm God Father to a few of them and Uncle to others.
I find it odd when people say they don't like kids.. like they really don't like kids. I just find myself thinking "wtf? someone raised you, someone was nice to you when you were a kid.. why be so cold and rude to them?" But whatever, I guess some of us are just better with kids than others and I'm ok with that.
