I think that most people have kids partially because of a biological imperative and partially becaue they, emotionally, want a pert of themselves for the future. Thee are other reasons, of course, but I think that those are the main two.
If people had babies for sake of the person that the baby would be, then they would have as many children as possible.

Not if you can't afford them, this is usually the reason people stop.

Understand that I am not evaluating the word 'selfish' as a negative thing. I an evaluating is as 'done for self' without other connotation. People have kids because they WANT kids.

Again though you say people have kids because the WANT them but why do they WANT them? Yes I had kids because I wanted them but I have reasons I wanted them not just because.
