Nobody HAS to do that. If people WANT to have children they should give them the best chances they can. If science proves IVF is the best, every parent must do it, if it's risk freedom has not been proved yet, no person that has other options available should do it. Chances are they would be ruining their children's life by expecting and comparing them to the best, so they can at least not give them handicap from birth. The world is now much more competetive and unfair to our children than it was in our time. My mother has told me countless times that childbirth is one of easier parts of motherhood.

Taking advice for raising children from the childless is like asking virgins for advice on sex.

Now that's a very high ratio of personal beliefs to character ratio. I'd be delighted to see some evidence behind your opinions.
