Why to give birth a child (restated)?

Looking for a logical answer, I will ignore any answers with religious influence or the ones that are too subjective or based only on instincts (I consider that WE have also a thing to say about it...)

I'm trying very hard to understand, the reason for which people have children. There must be a very good explanation for why are we in charge to take the decision for a new life.
I don't mean that I don't want a child or that I want one.
But do you know why to have? Do you thing of her/his happiness and do you have a guarantee for what you think ... you might be wrong as well.

Answer:
I want to have one to raise. Simply to be a mother. To watch him/her grow up. Take care of him/her, watch them go through school, through college, have babies of thier own. I want to be a grandma. I dont know why. I just do. I see other women with babies and for some reason I just want that.

Plus nowadays you can op for the epidural and a c-section if the going gets tough ;-)
if your parents are still around, why don't you ask them why they had you? nothing in life is guaranteed.
having a child is the most selfish thing a person can do..Its not like they are doing the environment a favor ..6 Billion savages running loose already
People should a adopt
Evolution has placed a very strong "happiness" button in our brains that gets activated when we have kids. THere is all kinds of extra endorphins and serotonin that gets released when we have a kid.

It's done so that the species survives. it's all a chemical/electrical reaction in our nervous system.
i wanna have a kid because i love kids and i want my own family to raise. to me kids only make the bond between a husband and wife so much stronger than it could ever be! i would never have kids tho until i could give them the world if they wanted it! in other words im not having kds till i got money to afford them because i want them to have a beautiful life, but i can see the fact that in todays world its not the smartest to bring a kid into it. the world is going to complete crap but i know it wont get better so before i die i want to have my lil girl!
you dont really live life until you have children... I thought i was having a good time when I was dating and single but now i realize nothing compares to my babys calling my name and looking up to me. They are the best thing that can happen to any family...
I want kids so they can keep the family lineage going. So we can keep the human race going. And because I think that having kids is a part of life, a way to share ourselves with each other.

Think about this. If everyone stopped having kids that means no kids born ever again, in 100 years the human species would cease to exist.
Having a child is for love. I don't mean love between two adults, but for the love of a young one who you can nurture, guide, and care for. Someone you can raise with honesty and dignity.

A child is like nothing you've ever had before. Someone who will make you laugh, and cry, yell and whisper, sing and dance, and learn things you never knew before.

Sometimes the simplicity of a child's mind is the greatest gift an over-daunted adult needs. A child is something you always cherish, whether you adopt or conceive.
That is a very good question. I am the mother of 3 and I knew from a young age that I certainly wanted to be a parent someday. I think there are many reasons one chooses to be a parent. For me, there were many reasons. I wanted to have an extension of me and my husband and our love for each other and if you're someone who wants children and loves your partner, as corny as it may sound, there is no better way to express your love than to create a child that you two can nurture, guide and watch grow and develop. I knew we could provide our child(ren) with a loving home, parents who would love them unconditionally and who were able to well support them both emotionally and financially. Those are the reasons that I can verbalize. For me, a lot of my reasoning/desire to have children is something that is deep within my being. It's an "emotion" (for lack of a better term) that is so profound, it's really hard to put a label on it or to put it into words. I hope my answer makes sense.
Some people especially women just have a parenting instinct. This is necessary for survival of the species. Other people are trapped by unwanted pregnancy and either do their best or not.
mmmm, i kinda agree with the guy saying ask your parents, but come on, if it's all logical, then how are you thinking.

if people stoped having kids, how are we gonna live, you know...if no one had babies from now.all humans will be extent by the coming 100 years.so how about you, like do you feel so helpless, so hopeless, that you wouldn't want to come to life, perhaps you are not that successful, so you are blaming your parents for being the reason you are here,...I'd say you better try hard, and get your self a new life..it's not easy, but the harder you try the more you'll get, or at least, FEEL....

seriously, i still can't understand how can you find it HARD to understand..while it's nothing to understand,..
People have children for many different reasons. As a mother I can tell you I have not experienced a single joy greater. The love, pride and amazement is overwhelming. We as humans are programmed to reproduce and that is simply nature. However your concerns about bringing them into a world so cruel are legitimate. I feel it is my duty to prepare my child with values, instincts, and tools to change the world around him. I will encourage my child to be a innovative thinker as this is necessary for our future.
It's all about genes. Once my daughter was born I knew that I had done my biological job. I a sense I could die now because my genes will live on in her. There's also a strong imperative to live and care for her until she can look after herself, but I think the genetic survival thing is why so many people would willingly give up their lives for their children - the genes have to survive!
