Wanting offspring to come of age in this ecosystem is psychotic. As long as the technology that maintains a baseline standard of living for humans has a deleterious effect on the environment they live in, expanding this population at any replacement rate at all for a long enough time will eventually make it inhospitable, and tech-optimism on this issue is foolish naivete. We cannot thrive at a middle-ages style standard of living without also inheriting the plagues of their age like disease and extreme scarcity, and even if we tried, we are far above the carrying capacity of the land for that to be viable anyway. Doing it by accident is forgivable though, it's how it happens most of the time. Still, the sentiment itself of intentionally wanting to make a life against its own will - it just rubs me with this weird megalomania of not being satisfied enough with controlling your own sphere, and preserving your own "mark" into the future even after you're long dead and can't experience it, ugh.
Also I don't want my genes to survive. Not after they made me how I am.
