For some of them, adoption or artificial insemination may end up being options.

They may be better off just skipping it and being a mentor, or else doing a "Save the Children" type thing. There are other ways that single people can be fulfilled without purchasing an "accessory" child.

I suppose, but the biological drive to have kids is pretty strong. Women's biology doesn't match with modern society, it seems. A woman is most fertile during her late teens and 20's, but many women find themselves in college, graduate school and in the early stages of their careers during those years. Hardly a time to be a mother.

Eventually, medical science will reach a point where womens' fertility will be extended into their 40's or later, thereby eliminating this problem.

One approach I've seen bandied about is impregnation by a male friend through artificial insemination. I know one woman who took that approach.
