I dunno. Here's some possibilities, though: Because there's more to life than a low stress level? Because you did a favorable cost-benefit analysis? Because you don't know how to properly apply a condom? Because if no one did it, we'd be extinct in about a hundred years, give or take a decade or so? :) Heck, I figure if someone knows himself well enough to realize he'd make a lousy parent or that when push comes to shove he just can't be arsed putting his energy into child-rearing, that saves society a great deal of time and money. For the rest of us, I suppose we just suck it up and deal.
