Welcome!
My dad was an only child of two only children and three of my great-grandparents were only children. Since my dad died, the only people left in the family are my sister and me. I have never desired kids and my thirty-year old sister isn't showing any signs of wanting them either. The health problems on my dad's side are vast (my dad had multiple strokes from the age of 42 to 59 when he died. He also had lupus. My grandfather had three heart attacks before he died and had kidney problems... and these are just some examples). My mom's side includes cancer and Alzheimer's to name a couple. I actually got pregnant once and the fetus died toward the end of the second trimester. I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't have children because of my family's horrible genetics, and therefore my brain tells me I don't want them. I'm not basing this on science, just a hunch.
My point is, it might be more immoral or irresponsible for me to have children, not the other way around.
