If you want to do something revolutionary that potentially threatens the status quo, first you have to be born.
Sure. But the question on this thread is if you also have to have offspring, which is orthogonal to being born yourself.
Some people want to make the world a better place by having families. To me this makes at least as much sense most plans for world-improvement.
What about having families makes the world a better place?
Plenty of abusive, criminal, ..., families. Matter of fact, every negative historical figure was also born into a family.
"What about having families makes the world a better place?"
Families are vital. That everybody from Genghis Kahn to Jonas Salk was born into one ought to be the tip-off.
