But they can't choose to be born. Having children is intrinsically a non-consensual act.

That's not really relevant to the point I'm making but, yeah, it's not a consensual act to have offspring. Nothing that's ever been born has chosen to be born. But countless things have been happy they were.

In the words of Stephen Colbert, "It's a gift to exist."

Obviously quite dependent on circumstances...
