Basic r/K selection. We're a K-selection species: we have a few offspring and we invest our resources in them quite heavily, like most mammals, and the higher the mammal, the bigger the investiture.

As such, your suggestion is quite literally against human nature. We're not insects. This is the usual trap for people with Big Ideologies: they assume that we're all these tabula rasa entities onto which anything might be written (and should be).
