That first metric is highly subjective. There is a growing movement of anti-natalists that believe that having children is immoral, because being born a human is worse than never having existed, and people can't consent to their existence.
I don't think we'll be able to move beyond subjectivity for the morality of this, but I do think we can be more precise.
