My genes followed their programming, allowing my mind to make up rationalizations on the way. Here are some clever rationalizations for you:
Having kids is like cooperating in a multigenerational Prisonner’s Dilemma. If you think your existence is a good thing, remember that someone paid the cost of that. Paying the cost of having other people like you exist is how you reciprocate.
If you are awesome and your partner is awesome, by making kids you make the humanity and the entire world more awesome!
Being a parent is a powerful experience that will satisfy your curiosity in many ways. You will have to assume “heroic responsibility” for your kids. You will get the opportunity to observe how utterly absurd is the “blank slate” theory. You will experience altered states of mind as a result of sleep deprivation. Women get the opportunity to observe the massive impact of hormonal changes on their minds. Parenting is one of the most powerful human trips.
Watching little humans grow up and gain skills is emotionally satisfying. Even more if you can give yourself partial credit for the success.

Thanks a lot for your answer!
This makes me think, maybe this change destroys part of one’s identity
