Very hard question. There are a lot of different reasons we didn't.
Wife's health played into it. I think the biggest reason for me was I didn't want to take the chance of being a bad parent. I believe that parenting is a very hard job that two people have to do well. You can't just give it a shot and hope for the best. Neither my wife and I thought we had the right talents to be good parents.
I know that is most people thought that much about it the human race would have died out year ago. And I think most people end up doing a pretty good job. I just wish everyone had to seriously evaluate their abilities before they commit to children.
