I consider it immoral to bring a child into the world with the knowledge that it will suffer because you cannot support it. Either abstain from sex or use contraception but do not knowingly and purposely cause suffering based on a personal belief (that makes it selfish).

What level of “suffering” is required before life is no longer worth living? Are you confident enough in your answer to decide that someone else will suffer too much to make their life worthwhile?

Giving life always creates the opportunity for suffering ... but also the opportunity for happiness. Some of the happiest people I have ever encountered have endured some of the worst suffering.
