In his book, The Ultimate Resource, Julian Simon points out that slower population growth reduces the number of geniuses and innovative new ideas. I think this post is making the same point, parents living their children has the capacity to increase innovative and useful new ideas. I think the reason the world seems to celebrate the privation of children is the reluctance to ask people to take responsibility for themselves.
