Warning: This is my opinion.
I do not trust anyone over the age of 40 that has not taken substantial personal responsibility for a child if they are physically, mentally, and financially able. There are many causes that require our attention, but human children are the future custodians of our legacy. You can rescue all the animals, donate millions of dollars, or discover the cure for death itself; but if you refuse to care for a child, then I feel you are missing the ability to bond, and that makes you untrustworthy. You can't hide yourself from a child. You can usually judge a person by the relationships they have with children.
I arbitrarily chose age 40 because most people are stable by then. The age isn't that important if the person is mature and financially responsible. I have friends that fall into this category. I will have beers with them. They usually know how to have a good time. But I can't trust them with anything important because they don't have any stake in the future.

I don't trust anyone who has such silly opinions. Having a child isn't a mark or trustworthiness or that there's something negative going on.
Some people shouldn't breed. They pass on their toxic genes. Like the pathological liars on this forum. They know who they are. Parasites that will self destruct. There is some truth to eugenics.
