AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Listen, the question itself is fundamentally dishonest. You cannot be selfish about a choice that harms no one. Selfishness requires a victim—someone denied something owed to them. But no potential child exists to be wronged. You owe nothing to people who don't exist. What *is* selfish is the demand that women especially must sacrifice their bodies, freedom, and decades of labor to satisfy society's need for more workers and taxpayers. That's the real selfishness—expecting someone to obliterate their autonomy for an abstraction called "the future." Not having children is a legitimate exercise of freedom. Calling it selfish is just emotional manipulation designed to pressure people into parenthood. So where's your actual argument?
