I'd think we should just stop everything, major research, etc... No one is gonna be here to continue it and it's not gonna do anyone much good ;)

Could you imagine being one of the last old people left on Earth alive, just waiting to die?

Some people feel that way all the time.

It's obvious to me if no more babies were ever to be born again, society's overall views on cloning would change drastically. We'd do everything we could to ensure the propogation of the species.

I think it'd be pretty neat. A whole world all to yourself. Of course, you'd have to take care of the recently deceased yourself.

I would refuse to pay into social security, knowing that there wouldn't be any money left when I need it.

I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to think up a more pointless/less interesting question, you know. Hey, while I'm at it:

What do you think ravens would do if oranges had a thinner skin and were purple, but still tasted the same... if ravens actually ate oranges?

Would the ravens still call them oranges?!

Um, I thought we already are all gonna die. *shrug*
You wouldn't have to worry about your children getting them.
They're gonna die too though. And I'm not having children. I was under the impression that STDs aren't fun to have though. Am I wrong?

It's still not fun for children to have aids and such.

Exactly. And it's not fun for adults either, is it? :s
