Why is it sick? Just because it is more common these days to not have some many children does not make it sick. They are not having kids and living off the government like some people do. They are not having kids and losing them because they can not take care of them. What's it to anyone how many kids anyone has? If they want to have 19+ kids, more power to them. My grandparents had 8 children and I love it! Always cousins to play with. If I could, I'd have more.
