(21,043 posts)Right off the bat I can think of a few. I could probably think of a whole slew of reasons why having kids is selfish.
First, because there are already SO MANY children dreaming of someone adopting them, but they will reach 18 with no family. They'll never have a family because of the insistence of all those parents who wanted to have a kid from their own loins.
Second, it adds even more population to an already-overpopulated planet. And if the idea is, 'well, others are having kids already!," well, that's a selfish idea.
Third, because by having kids, you are choosing to create something to busy your life, instead of dedicating your life to helping those who are already here and in need, the old, the ill, the helpless, the mentally disabled, etc.
