I'm not sure where anything I have will go in the future. I have to think about that.
It sounds like you believe children are the only way to contribute forward. Is that the case? Why is money moving forward the only aspect you bring up? Plato, Davinci, Newton, Whitman, Poe... none had children, but wouldn't you agree that their contributions still echo through history? Tesla died penniless and never had a child, yet you are likely sitting in a building lit and heated by his legacy.
I'm not saying I am even close to the level of those people, but I do think there are plenty of other ways to use a life to be of service to others and contribute things that will last far beyond my years.

I don't think that having children is the only way to contribute to the future, it's just an undeniable fact that in the end that also contributes. And I understand your point of view, it's just that each one gives it a different perspective. I'll mention money only as an example, obviously who keeps your job and money is not the most important thing. But if we talk about that aspect, I would prefer that my assets remain in the hands of my children, than that they end up in other hands other than mine.
