Where exactly do you expect the next generation of people to try and improve the world is supposed to come from?
What is your plan for care as you age and your body fails? It's not the responsibility of children to actively be the caregiver, but you at least need someone of sound body and mind to be an advocate for you and ensure you aren't being screwed over when you can't look out for yourself anymore.
Inb4 the inevitable "I'll just kill myself before I get old" shit. Good luck with that with no easily available, reliable, and painless ways to do so.
I don't owe this world a kid. If the country needs more children it should use my taxes to encourage people to have children. If they do it well enough I might have a child myself.
