I could be so lucky!

I would agree with you if more people having kids was a benefit to society. If anything, because of climate change, we should be incentivizing people to not have kids.

Heh, so, what I meant to say here was more like:

"Even if you don't have kids, you wouldn't even be here if your parents didn't!"

I knew what you meant. The "I could be so lucky!" was in reference to me not being here.
