The problem, as I see it, is if everyone does the same then people really won’t care about the long term survival of the planet or species because they have no skin in the game. May as well rape and pillage the planet because there’s literally no downside for you. You’ll be dead with no children to care about.

If only we could know how people without children behave. If only there were some around to see if in fact they just decide to eschew society and become destructive as you predict.
Looking at the birth rate, we don't have shortage of children.

I do not understand your point about killing and raping in the context of not having children. You must live in the writing neighborhood of this is the correlation you see attend you.

But everyone does't do that and it's absolutely silly to suggest they will so your alarmism just that.
