Is it selfish to choose not to have kids?

Every ancestor you have, going back to the first fish with ambition, endured discomfort so the line could continue, and you're the beneficiary of ten thousand generations of people who didn't get to choose brunch instead.

Rights and virtues are different things, and the kindest accurate word for choosing yourself over the future is still a word about the self.
