Racial euthanasia

Why don't we make ourselves the last generation on earth? 
What kind of people are we, to bring children into a world so full of frustration and suffering? 
Why would we fill the earth more full of children, who will then struggle with all the results of an environment we have made hostile to us, not to mention more directly sinful acts? 
Is it not cruel and wanton, to subject new life to this?

So asks Peter Stringer, notorious 'bioethicist'. 
So, before him, might Adam have asked Eve.

So, what's the answer? Colin Hansen reports and offers Biblical reflection here.

(And yes, it would effectively be racial euthanasia. An entire race killing its future generation.)
