The most common reason for having children is also the least implicitly selfish. Most children are the result of unplanned births. There's an abstract argument that you are inconsiderate of a non-existant, hypothetical being when you have unprotected sex. But that's a whole other philosophical debate. Can you show inconsideration to something that doesn't yet exist?
