In simple lay terms, you're really just talking about the whole "shoe on the other foot." People have a problem with empathy. We live in a VERY individualistic world. We don't have a sense of community. We have a real problem with the "other." Its something we struggle with our whole lives, i.e., how do we assert our individual, autonomous selves, while still being connected to a large group (marriage, family, community). We have advanced so far as humans because we evolved to live in groups. Its a fact. During Prehistoric times, Ancient times, and middle ages (3 major timelines in history), we functioned and thrived in groups. However, group cohesion began to deteriorate for many reasons (industrial revolution, urban communities, centralized state). We have lost those roots, and as such, we have a problem understanding another persons suffering. When people lived in groups, they supported and cared for each other. Now, most people do not even know their neighbors who live 6 houses away from them.
Yes I am aware, but you don't offer a solution like I have, just point to the problem.

Having kids is unethical at it's core if you think about it. yet ppl rationalize their instinct, they use it to escape the possible awareness of purposelesness of their life and actions. Only strong can face the harsh truth, and only strongest doesn't off themselves in the process. It takes quite some balls to acknowledge the reality and hidden workings of it. Better not to, probably, like a cat or dog, just procereate and die with no conscience, as the end result is pretty much the same.
 I find it funny how many ppl are not self critical, I mean - when I look around I see quite some unlucky ppl, some short, some deformed in various ways, bald, ugly, unhealthy from a get go, from dysfunctional families, with no real sense of how to raise a strong individual that will suffer as less as possible, etc, etc.. yet somehow... majority of them justify their urge to procreate, without even thinking of what they will transfer to these new bodies and "souls".
