That's the problem: evolution drives life otherwise Evolution wouldn't exist.
Now we circumvent already things evolution purports like the strongest survivies. We also compensate for errors or flaws like eye sight, mental illness etc. We question eating meat. We cook meat. We self control and we evolved evolution by inventing the internet (highspeed human interconnect) and computers. Potentially the internet itself with all it's inputs (blogs, comments, news), processing power in-between and outputs will become a new thing.
We also do not support not lifing. If I would tell my parents that I want to stop/end my life I would not be allowed.
Why? Because of course the only true answer can be that lifing is good.
Now let's question this: we have no impact (universe will disintegrate), we have a lot of pain in the world, we can't guarantee to anyone that they will ha e a good life and there is no purpose in life either besides the purpose you create for yourself.
We can't ask someone if they want to be a life before they get born either.
In my logic the most social thing would be to be aware of everything around you and stop creating new brains to entertain yours.
How many brains in agony are okay? What is the perfect ratio? 1:10000? 1:100?
Making kids is not a logical answer it's an evolutionary one.
Lucky enough for our society my type of thinking will not propagate much anyway.

People are doing what they want anyway. It's just a discussion :)
Moral and ethics is a construct of a self-sufficient, sustainable and fair society. Nothing else.
I still think it's the right decision not to have kids.
I myself would prefer not to been born (while my life is relatively easy)
In dune there is a story part were the ruler knows what he needs to do but also realizes that he is not strong enough and knows that his son has to fullfil it (I forgot what it is about) but I feel as soon as we achieve the ability to self determine things like if we want to make kids, we should stop doing it as we might not have the right to create new life.
Don't get me wrong, this is not black and white thinking: have kids if you want.
Evolutionary everything and everyone is programed to stay alive and procreate. Fighting against it is hard.
It's easier to make this life easier, better etc than staying your ground and not making kids.
We tried actually and it didn't work out after 3 month. That made it much easier to not try again. But as you see, thinking about it and what you do is not black and white.
