/By foreswearing children you do everyone a favour *except* yourself. It's
/as if you were on a soccer team and decided that 11 men a side was unfair
/to the other teams, and so took yourself out of the game, leaving only 10
/men on your team.

This is only true if you want to have children. You're not doing your
genes a favor by not having kids, but you may well be doing yourself a
favor. I would much rather propagate myself than my genes.

A dream of a meme
is a wonderful theme
or so we always do deem;
But a ream in a beam
causes termites to teem
or so it to me does seem.
