I do get what you're saying and I agree; just because biological urges are screaming at us to do something doesn't mean we have to listen and act on it. If my clock ever starts ticking and demands I have a baby, I'm gonna rip my uterus out with a rusty spoon or whatever else it takes to keep that from happening!
But on the other hand, how to you deny your very most basic urge in life, which is to have sex with the person you're attracted to (technically which should lead to procreation, but it's just a means to an end), simply because other people don't like the thought of it? Catholic priests have been trying to do it for centuries and failing miserably; they end up just keeping it behind closed doors. Many others would rather kill themselves than live in such constant agony, and I think forcing them to do so is just about one of the most horrible and cruel things society can do.
