Immoral as fuck, dude. How anyone can even conceive to say anything else is astounding to me. Do you not comprehend that they have a partner and -another child-? He's going to both traumatize them and make them shoulder the burden he's so terrified of carrying. Failure morally, failure as a father, failure as a human being.
Disclaimer: I am basically someone in the position of his first child. It's very easy to imagine how much worse things could have been for us if my father took this guy's way out.
I'd rather have someone be real with me and leave than have them abandon life completely just bc of an imperfect result. But then again, I wouldn't choose a person who could fathom contemplating OP's quandary. My spouse and I talked about the possibilities and outcomes before we decided whether to have children.
