Damn, I missed the baby kicking ceremony last night. I'll drop my two cents anyways

Making any kind of decision involving yourself is inherently selfish, this situation is no different. Whether the decision you make is based on how you want to spend your time or how it matches up to society's expectations of you, the reasoning is still centred around yourself. That said, I don't think that selfishness is amoral. I guess you could say that having a child opens yourself up to being less moral because you could potentially ruin a life that would have never occurred, but that doesn't make either side more superior than the other tbh.
