I've felt this way ever since being introduced to the concept of reproduction.
It wasn't exactly 'stripped away' from me. If anything, it was an enormous relief to discover my partner was infertile (she had known for some time before we met) and that she shared my opinions on reproduction.
Are you really claiming that choosing to not reproduce is selfish? It's not up to the next generation to fix our wrongs. If that was the case, we'd never get anything done, because the next generation would just rely on the next.
Spend less energy on making kids and more energy on fixing the world if that's really your end game.

ive got a couple of ankle-biters
I say to people thinking about them: "if you really want them, have them. But if you not sure then don't because they're a fuckton of work. But once you've bought the ticket then take the ride and try and enjoy it"
I'm a scientist at heart, so I enjoy testing out behavioural theory on them and treating the whole thing as a long running experiment, which it is in a way.
