I'm glad I indirectly started this conversation on the forums.
Let me congratulate you, Pyrrho, on a beautifully done poll and a great OP to go with it.
And thank you for not showcasing my views in particular[by quoting what I said in other, seemingly unrelated threads] with a mind to sublty ridicule them, even if it would seem we are allowed to do so[as shocking as that is to me].
There's no choice to make here, really, whereas some would have you believe there is. The options are pretty straight-forward, yet it seems we have at least 6 people among us, as of now, that would rather see the end of the world[of our race, really], or something among those lines[millions of people dying], than lose their petty right to spawn mini-me's, as if we don't already have enough people that would do the world a service by being nominated to the Darwin Awards.
If I had the choice between extinction and anything else at all, I would choose anything else. This is obviously the thing to do.
Your having children doesn't mean anything at all if those same children will grow up to die of hunger or because of some other closely related factor one day.
We have rights, yes, but those rights don't mean anything in and of themselves. This is especially true if by having these rights you are giving up other, more important rights in the process[or if you are at the same time imposing on other people's rights]: like the right to live for example.
