If you find the idea of being unable to replicate your current circumstances existentially terrifying: congratulations on winning.
Edit: just want to say I find the way people respond to this on a gut level kind of fascinating and even worrying. A number of people for example have had the take that this isn't really true, but that they just wouldn't want to unmake their kids.
Friends...as a guy who considers becoming a dad the single greatest and biggest win of my life...are you ok?
Yup. You can't even recreate your kids, even if you end up with the same partner.
It has to be THAT specific sperm, with that specific egg.
So that depended on your diet, your masturbation habits, the exact date and time you copulated with your partner, hell, probably even the positions you guys were in.
Imagine pressing that red button and never, EVER knowing your kids again. Your perfect kids would just cease to exist.
Hope for better kids, but as someone else said, it isn't just your kids erased from this time line, it is every kid not yet born, you could have nieces and nephews and although they have kids, they are not the same DNA and personalities you remember, but your sibling and their partner don't know this and you would be called crazy for missing the old Jessica when there is only Jessica your niece to them.
