Hang on a minute, what real grounds do anyone have for claiming that the survival of the species is paramount above the needs and desires of the individual? So the human race will die out, big deal. The world is made of individuals. You have obligations to yourself and those you interact with first and foremost. The end of the species is no direct harm to any individual so I fail to see how you could claim that not reproducing harms anyone.
And to say that its a moral duty is just plain moronic. Morals are subjective. If you agree with that you're allowing one individual's moral values to supercede that of others, and thats not acceptable.
