My partner's evangelical mother is constantly bemoaning the fact that none of her seven children who are now well into adulthood have had any kids of their own yet. She tries to argue that there will be nobody to look after them when they're old and most if not all of the siblings agree that's a profoundly selfish reason to bring people into this world.

I see this as a reflection of a society-wide problem of seeing other humans as a means toward an end and where relationships have transactional implications.
