1. What do you mean by "raise good kids?"2. To convince the average person to give away 500,000$ requires gaining their allegiance over a long period. To get them to have a child requires you to gain their allegiance over a much smaller time period, and if they come to regret their choice, well, too bad.

I'm skeptical that having ones own children is actually an effective way of improving future wellbeing through the narrowish lens of children. Wouldn't it be more effective/scaleable to use the $500,000 (average cost to raise a child in Aus) to say start a charity that encourages good people to raise good kids? I think you'd get more than 1 kid out of that.
