There's a difference between opting out of having children, and not being able to physically.

There's more nuance here than your fable can expound on.

Some people don't want to bring a child into a world in its current state, some cannot afford it, some do not want the externalized costs, etc.

Choosing not to have children isn't always sour grapes.

It's a choice- let them make theirs.

Some of us recognize that we wouldn't make good parents and that we are not ready, and probably never will be.

My wife and I are okay with our cats. I don't think we have any regrets in this area.
