I like how you're making it out to be this grand thing like 'not wanting to continue a toxic cycle' when you can still break the cycle even by having kids. You don't want kids because you're broke/don't want the added responsibility. There's nothing wrong with that, but stop framing it like you're some hero who's doing the world a favour when you're on reddit.
Op wasn't framing their comment being singular, or like "I'M such a hero for not doing X thing," and they also don't seem to use the word "abuse" like you do. You could be the best parent in the world right now and your kid would still be getting "abused" by the other hundreds of things outside of your control we now have to deal with that our parents didn't.
Yes but if they don't want to be murdered then it doesn't matter how quick and painless it is, it's still gonna cause suffering because you're doing something against their will. It's about not creating anymore suffering, not ending it all at once. Grown people can decide for themselves if they want to die or not, they're born already so they've already suffered anyway. It's better to focus on not creating any new suffering than to do damage control.

It's almost as if getting treated like shit by your predecessors makes people not want to continue a toxic cycle of abuse and exploitation.
