Most people have children because it's a deeply embedded instinct to do so. If it wasn't, our species wouldn't have survived as long as it has. A lot of people also find it to be the most fulfilling aspect of their lives. And there's actually a practical reason as well: to have someone who will look out for you and be your advocate when you're elderly. Many times, unfortunately, people without children end up neglected and extremely isolated in their old age. I'm not for having kids or against having kids by the way, just pointing out a few reasons why people do.
