It’s not a service to humanity. There are 7 billion of us out here. There are plenty of great reasons to have kids but I don’t buy the “for the greater good” argument.

i agree - if them having kids is "for the greater good", they could just as easily donate half their own paycheque to a charitable organization that deals with orphans and starving kids in parts of the world. That might make for a greater good than one additional child they may make.

Seriously. We have >8% of the world population living in poverty. If these supposed self-less "I did it for the good of the species!" procreators really wanted to help humanity, we'd see a lot more adoption.
