Why not? We were brought into this world without our consent by a society that has children simply because it's instinctual, and then we're expected to show loyalty to our species and be productive members of society regardless of our own wants and needs. I'd say that any culture that acts in such a way does in fact owe the people it brings into the world for no other reason than because it wants to make more people.

So human psychology needs to change? You think that's reasonable? Our psyches have been developed over millions of years and no amount of bootstrap logic is going to change how the human race functions. Certain individuals might be able to pull themselves up but human history has shown for thousands of years that the natural state of most societies is poverty.
