Ehh, I don’t think that’s a valid question to ask someone with kids. It’s effectively, “would you prefer your children not be alive right now?” Or, “do you consider your children mistakes now that you’ve raised them?”.
I’m not sure what the optimal way to phrase the question would be but maybe:
“If your biological age was reset to 20, would you start another family?” Or
“If you could give advice to the parallel universe you who is 25 years younger, would you tell him to have kids?”
“Go back and not have children”

Hmm, those still aren’t great.
This is a good point, but I did a poor job conveying the actual question asked by Gallup, which was:
Which, at least, is a little better than what I implied.
