from a biological perspective, one would have children because that is, in essence, what we are designed to do. practically, your children are vessels for your genes. your individual nature can be, in some sense, carried forth into the future long after you are dead. why should anyone want to have their genes competing in the pools of the future? that depends on the person, i suppose.
personally, i don't know if i want kids or not. i'm not an especially responsible guy.
