It's a rational decision.
Ten thousand generations of my ancestors were intelligent, give or take. If they had learned easy+effective contraception at any point, I wouldn't be here at all. This is infinitely more important point than all my ancestor's work, art, grand projects, ambitions, theories and whatnot. Leaving aside pondering about that bug of our genome, the immediate local decision is not to let my genome die with me and to give it yet another generation.
Maybe it's futile because the bug will be fatal in the end. Maybe. I don't know and I don't want to take risks.
I'm unlikely to contribute to AGI in any significant degree after all, which I would consider one of the alternative workaround to the bug.
