The motivation to have children is always a selfish one, in my opinion. It's all about the prospective parents' desires to see their line continue or fulfil some need or dream foisted upon them by family, society, or natural urges. There's no conceivable (boom-tish) way that having a child can be for the child's sake before it even exists. These people bring children into the world simply because "I've always wanted a little girl!" - what? You've always wanted? Nobody gives a damn what you want. Can you provide for this child? Are you intelligent enough to raise a critical thinker? Have you considered the society you're planning to raise them in? Have you considered that if everyone got their dream job that the world would cease to function? Most parents don't seem to give a fuck about that.
I remember I used to think it was a good idea to sterilize certain people. Then again, I used think euthanasing certain elements in society (including my obnoxious neighbours) was a good idea too. While I eventually decided that freedom was much better than imposition, it's still tempting to just say "sterilize these useless imbeciles".
