> We want to help parents have kids when it otherwise wouldn’t be possible.
I'm going to preemptively address a point that I often come across when discussing that kind of topic: some are going to say that it's going against "natural selection", and it might undermine our future ability to reproduce naturally.
This is true. However, that also considerably expands the gene pool. Lots of children who would have died in the past are alive and well, have (grand)children of their own. This is great for genetic diversity.
And should our technology level suddenly regress to the stone age, the selection will be swift and hard, especially on the first generations. However, a more diverse gene pool makes for better survival odds.
If you want to contribute to genetic diversity, stop killing species. Right now what humans do is impoverishing the global biodiversity by burning and cutting down forests, building houses, streets and plants, polluting the seas, and being the one major driver for the climate getting warmer instead of cooler which would be the natural course of events. It's not like the human diversity is really challenged with ~8 billions humans being alive.
