I guess you should do what makes most sense to you.

There is no such moral obligation as to "have children" or "don't have children". The choice should be yours.

The moral obligation is to the life you bring into this world. If you believe that society will collapse and they will experience hardship as a result then it may not be ethical to put them in that circumstance against their will.
