The kid didn’t need to exist, you made them do so because you wanted something from them for you or those around you, things like love, something to care about, a helping hand etc.
That is selfish by definition.
We take care of them now, and they will take care of us later. That’s not selfish, it’s human.
That is selfish AND human. Although something being human isn’t very relevant, considering things like greed or ill will are also human.
Wanting future generations to fix climate change is also pretty selfish, so it’s a bad example. They’re also likely to be powerless just like us.
Of course, not having kids in order to not make them suffer is also selfish, but It causes the least ammount of pain, well, except for the part where you will have to take care of yourself when older, but thats our problem.
