    Since bronze age and till now most humans having children knew they would suffer.

    Having a life is better than not existing in the first place.

    And don’t worry, it’s a self-regulating system and you are on the opposite end of humanity in the sense of being the material for that regulation.

      I guess that anyone that has an opinion in this matter is highly biased

        True. One doesn’t have to explain their choice in having children to others anyway.

        It just feels strange, to have an opportunity to give a child a better life than most of the people on the globe can, to want children, and to choose against.

          I don’t think I’d be a good parent so I decided to not have children. I’m in my forties so this is unlikely to change

          The future is bound to suck a lot, so I can understand people who think like that
