Obviously raising kids costs a lot of money that could be donated to charity, so it could be considered 'wrong', but if the kid grows up to be an effective altruist themselves, you'd actually be increasing how much can be donated, so maybe it's actually obligatory? What does the Reddit Nation think?
Someone has probably had this thought before, but maybe instead of trying to provide a lifetime of aid to individuals in poorer countries, it would be more effective to prevent excess births so there's more resources per person? Some countries in Africa have fertility rates of 5-7, if we could get that down to 2.0 we would be making the world a better place imo.
Just in case there's confusion, I know some white supremacists may also hold this view because they see Africans as a huge horde of inferior people. I see every race as equal and I think it would be better if the whole world had a fertility rate of around 2.0
