So then why would I have kids?

• irrational 9y ago
  Millions of years of biological imperative. The fact that you are here is proof that your ancestors were successful at procreating. Its in your genes (and your jeans).

    Except I'm human and I can consciously decide not to have kids.

      Humans can decide a lot of things. We're all still dumb animals driven primarily by instinct, although we like to think the levels of abstraction we put on top of those instinctual actions makes us somehow enlightened. It's a matter of what instincts are stronger: the desire to reproduce, or the desire for pleasure and comfort.

  Because the loss of some of your social life is a small price to pay for the joy of family life.

  So you have somebody to pay for a nice nursing home when you're old.
