I find it really difficult to imagine how are people OK with bringing new children into this world, I don't even live in a particulary poor or horrible country.

Because procreation is The be-all and end-all of people's existence?

In many ways it’s the best world to bring kids into, ever. As a middle class American I live better than an Egyptian pharaoh.

Except that a cloud of uncertainty hangs over it.

But a cloud of uncertainty is not worse than, say, constant starvation and plagues or eternal tribal wars. Would you bring a child into the world of the black plague? The Bronze Age collapse?

There has never been and will never be a utopia, especially one that can project into the future without fear. Having children means both blessing and cursing them with existence in a universe that apparently is not safety tested.
