I haven't got around to fully reading all of the intelligent comments in this thread, however, I feel a need to say just one thing:

Not everybody desires to procreate and I'm one of those people. I dislike children since I find them quite frankly, annoying little rugrats and I don't want to be responsible for another person's life.

If anything, I would like to see us put more of a focus on extending the lifespans of humans that are already alive rather than putting so much focus on children and making things better for the younger generations and what not.

70-80 years just isn't enough when the universe has been alive for over 10 billions of years. Aging as a process could technically either be reversed through some scientific means or circumvented all together with cybernetic implants or 3d printed organs or some other way even but people care more about children than those of us who are already alive.

So yeah, I oppose the idea of procreation as well.
