What are the ways you've found to protect against instrumentalizing children for one's own good?
I find much that is praiseworthy in the pro-natal view but I also see the "kids will benefit you" argument as potentially treating children as a means to ones own ends.
That is, the positive effects you rightfully describe only accrue when one forgets about them.
