Milan Kundera expresses skepticism about human procreation in "Farewell Waltz," highlighting the questionable choices individuals make when selecting parents for the next generation. He points out that some of the least attractive people feel compelled to have children, hoping that sharing their traits might lessen the burden of their own physical appearance.

This thought raises a concern about the implications of such decisions on future generations. Kundera suggests that these individuals may be under the illusion that having offspring will somehow redeem or dilute their lack of attractiveness, leading to a cycle of unintelligent parenthood.
