All the arguments people give about why you should have kids seem either pointless or subjective to me.
>you will die lonely and unhappy
I'd rather outlive everyone who cares about me because I don't like the idea of causing grief on anyone. I feel like I can die more peacefully if anyone who would be upset by my death is already gone.
>ensure the survival of our species
plenty of other people have kids already, mine won't make a difference whether or not we go extinct. I also don't see why I should even care since I'll be dead anyway.
>you have to continue your bloodline or your parents will be sad
I never asked to be born so I don't think I owe anyone anything. Again, why should I care after I'm gone?
>but it's soooo fulfilling
It seems unethical to me to bring new, self aware, life into the world only for it to experience a lifetime of suffering before being snuffed out of existence as if nothing ever happened simply for my own fulfillment. Life is a pointless cycle of suffering and non-existence perpetuated only because people seek out fulfillment.
