Child?


Not sure if it has been answered elsewhere, but why did David not want to have a child?

The only plausible explanations I can think of is he A - he didn't want to create a psychologically challenged clone
B - Put a child through a miserable childhood as he'd had.

Thoughts?

This is what I thought as well.

My thought is that he hated his father and the thought of fatherhood was, for that reason, repugnant to him. That, plus he was just not prepared to love and raise a child or deal with it,

He doesn't say why, so we can only speculate. In the movie he says having a child "would be impossible" which Katie Marks takes to mean he physically can't produce a child. However, this proved not to be the case, and he did subsequently impregnate her.
