I love that 'but we've got to leave some people like us behind' excuse for having kids!

There's a presumption that they'll turn out to be exactly what you intend them to be. How many people do you know who can give an honest and uncensored account of themselves to their parents? How many people do you know whose parents don't understand them at all? In the answers to those questions you have the reasons why the Mini-Me argument is nonsense.

And that's without including the fact that you can have a lot of influence on people without being their biological parents.
