I think if this society operated more like Pala, from Aldous Huxley's book "Island", this whole "orphan" problem would cease to be.
I also agree that abortion could be a very useful technology, and I think the only thing that's "sick" about it is the process itself, if anything.

donate sperm, don't get kids
How would that in any way help with "overpopulation"?
clearly it would help overpopulation

You're positing that donating sperm would help "overpopulation"? When you ejaculate in a woman, you're only impregnating one woman, but when you donate sperm, the specimen could be used to impregnate dozens of women.

Raising your child feels good, your body makes it this way so you'll do it, it's biologically fulfilling because your body makes it so for the sake of reproduction. There's alot to discuss here, I'll let you know first that I haven't thought that hard on any of this. I think besides the biological changes that result there may also be some personality investment. I would imagine that one may subconciously see themselves in their offspring and having any kind of attachment to the ego could also create good feelings. I don't know, I'm just speculating.

Emotions tie in with biological urges, most feelings that aren't reactionary have motives, instructions from your body. But yes I understand what you're saying, and don'think raising has anything to do with fulfilling said biological desires. This creature is concerned with reproducing before nurturing.

Best way to biologically fulfill yourself: take over a large piece of land, keep it under economic control, kill the children not related to you or use them as labor, impregnate the women, let your kingdom flourish. It's a/THE proven method.

Yes, not each exclusively though: only both at the same time.
How would you help depopulation? Not donate sperm? Lessen controls on nuclear power plants?

"Yes, not each exclusively though: only both at the same time."
That's what the Off-Topic Discussion forum is for, my friend.
Depopulation of what?

All they want (and all they are) is shits and giggles.
Whether or not you like your shits and giggles to be sequential, this is not the place for that sort of behavior.
