I am trying to figure out what makes people want to have children, because I just don't get it. I can think of many good, logical reasons, as well as emotional reasons for not creating and being responsible for a new human being, but no one seems to have logical reasons for doing it. Everyone talks about instinct and love and wanting more meaning in life.
How can it be selfish to not want to have children, if wanting to have them is not an altruistic act? No one I've talked to can give me any un-selfish reasons to make a small version of themselves.
