Think of it as an investment in the future - where else are you planning to get a kidney transplant on such a short notice?
Besides, ensuring that your blood continues to live on after you die will give you a load of relatives that will help you get back on your feet once you're out of the cryopreservation facilities a few centuries down the road.
That and William J. Sidis-type social experiments aside, I really don't see much of a use for kids these days - even if you want cheap manual labor or a couple of extra servants then you can just buy off some orphans from an east Asian country. The prices have been dirt cheap ever since slavery has been outlawed.
