By the time space colonization may be a thing, people will live 500 years, be half robots, with full robots doing all the work and artificially growing new babies. People not wanting kids won't be an issue.
Well, or we'll all be long dead due to the nuclear wars for water.
tbh if robots did all that for us, I fear we may be "content" with what we have on our hands and live inside our fantasy-sex ultra vr chat servers, although having children also involves "having" them too but yeah I guess the shower thought is kinda invalid lol
