Personally, not having kids is not selfish.On the other hand, I can't think of a lot of reason that HAVING a kid isnt selfish. Bringing another life into this cruel world is messed up

Yep. It’s not like people are out there trying desperately to adopt. Meanwhile they put stickers on their car to let you know they “rescued” a dog. The reality is, everything we do is some sort of virtue signaling, it feeds our ego. Having our face on a mini version of us will do that for ya. Can’t have that with a dog, so we make it work another way. 

Look. I’m glad some people are having kids, it’s good for the economy and I’m invested in the stock market.
