Equating this with parenthood is short-sighted. I have no children and will not have children in the future (indeed, I have taken medical steps to make this so). Nonetheless, work is money. To the extent I care about what I'm working on, it's due to a preference to avoid working on objectively evil projects. (Even then, I'm not sure whether there's a difference between working at, say, Microsoft, versus working at a hedge fund -- in either case, you're really just working to build the wealth of billionaires, after all.)
