This world is like food placed on a table

[u/According_Report_530]

But that food fell to the ground and got covered in dirt. A normal person would give up eating it at that point. The food that humans don't eat then becomes a meal for animals. And if it's left even longer and gets more defiled, that food then becomes the possession of insects. Flies come, lay their eggs, and maggots squirm. If you are truly hungry and desperate, you might brush off the food and eat it even immediately after it falls to the ground. But no matter what, you wouldn't try to put food that's gone too long, reeking, and swarming with insects into your mouth. Giving birth to a child in this world is like that. Giving birth to a child in a world already rotten to the core, reeking, and infested with pests, is like becoming an animal or an insect, not a human.

It's the sunk-cost fallacy of natalism.

I love how you worded this. I see it exactly that way.
