>survival of the species

Whether I make kids or not has absolutely no practical bearing upon the survival of the species. In fact, we're having overpopulation problems. The species will survive regardless of my choice. (I admit I still won't have kids if I along with a mate were the last remaining homo sapiens, I'm just not interested and the planet will keep spinning.)

I can also contribute to survival of the species by helping others' kids I come across during my life.

Counterintuitively, my choice to end my bloodline can also improve survival of the species because it's less mouths waging war down the line.

>One problem in your writeup is that it appears that you believe others should take your approach to living

I sincerely couldn't care less what others do in their bedrooms because it is none of my business, I already stated as such in another comment under the thread I linked.
