Survivalism (n.)

The conviction that what with the world being such a terrible place, the future of humankind and indeed the entire planet uncertain, and the fact that we are all basically doomed, it is still better to have children than to not have children on the grounds that this will help to ensure that when the world finally does come to an end, there will be more of ‘us’ than there are of ‘them’.

Survivalism may be practised at an individual, international, continental or even global scale. The trait is indigenous to many cultures and faiths, most notably Catholicism, whose divinely appointed representatives espouse the sinfulness of contraception for precisely this reason.
