Assuming it was ok to have kids before it is still ok now. There may be some world where the chance your offspring will be subjected to suffering is high that it may not be the best idea.

Considering the primary purpose of life is to reproduce and continue existing I'd suggest that even in a world of guaranteed suffering that it is our obligation to continue our existence.

So what does she propose as ideal, everyone in the world just stop reproducing?

Only some countries should stop reproducing?

Who should stop reproducing?

Do we follow the Kyoto protocol and set a date back in time as the target goal? What can we afford, the year 2000, 1980, 1887?

This sound like it would be the perfect type of issue that could be addressed via a 5 year plan.
