If you want to have kids, have kids. If you don't want to have kids, don't have kids. There's no law or mandate saying you have to do one or the other.
And of course any decision to have kids is going to be based on what the parents want. They're the one having the kid. It's an inherently selfish decision because the one or two of them are going to have to commit their time to raising this person. There's really no way to make the decision to have a kid about anything other than yourselves.
Yup.
Lots of good posts already in here, so I'll just agree with this one. Personally, I definitely want kids and probably not in the too distant future. At the same time, I totally understand people who decide not to have kids. It's a personal decision and people just do what they want, really.
As for actual reasons for those who do want kids, plenty already covered in here. But again everyone is different.
