I certainly hope science doesn't completely take over the burden, as you call it, of producing children! I enjoyed the old-fashioned way of conception. Still do! And I just loved being pregnant. Wish it had happened easily for me so I could have had five or six more.
I'm not provoking anything, I'm just expressing my opinion - which is that the world isn't any better off because of the human race. We are an incredibly arrogant, and destructive, species of animal.

I don't doubt that you, and most other people, love having children. Eventually, there will be a limit as to how many they can produce. China has already started this.

Before we destroy the whole planet and everything on it, the human race should exit with dignity - and allow for the possibility of a better world, and more intelligent life, to develop. Of course, an unselfish act like this is beyond the scope of the human species' intelligence and ego.
