There was a thread on this topic a while ago.

I want to have children, very much, but not in the way that if I didn't, I couldn't live with this! As I don't believe in God and in the life after (there was a discussion on this topic too), I see a continuation of my being only in the life of my cells, life in general in plants and other stuff and a continuation of my human life and to the civilization, to which I contribute, in a child. I can't say I love every baby or every child, but I know that I will love my baby or babies. It is very much like when you take a pet in, you can't say you love it from the very first moment, but it becomes so dear to you as you live with it. Even when it shreds your furniture
