I think you mean "humans"?

Nope, not planning to go Spock. I also edited the original question now for clarification.

having your own child allows you more control over the circumstances

I'd like to see some evidence how much control I can have. You're describing just the best case scenario, but having a child can also be incredibly exhausting if things go wrong.

Oh, okay. Sorry to misunderstand. (Also, I meant "control" as compared to the control one has when adopting.)

In that case, I have insufficient research for a meaningful answer. I guess one aught to start here or there or there, to get a rough idea?
