The last mass extinction at the KT event wipe out a staggering 96% of species on this planet. In the last 200 years mankind has contributed to the destruction of about 98.8% of the species. Thus from a paleontological point of view mankind has caused a mass extinction! In fact the worst recorded in Geological history.
I certainly think it's something to consider. I've certainly had thoughts that bringing children into the world as it stands is something to consider very carefully, beyond the mere practicalities.
