I wish that all children born from this day forward enjoy a better quality of life than their parents had. (infosec.pub)

I would imagine being the last humans on earth would not be a quality of life increase. It's a good start though :)

I think this is the right track: only children who will have a better quality of life can be born, therefore... no children are born. Ever. Because without new poor children, the rich children who would have had a better quality of life can't either.
