Considering you're posting this, I'm going to assume you're in a developed country. In which case, that "horrible state" doesn't exist for you. Maybe if you were posting from the blood coast of Africa or choking on smog in Guangzhou, you might have grounds to not want to bring children into that existence.
But in a developed country, where you are (essentially) free to do as you like, never run out of food, water, heat, etc. Have access to world-class medical care, a near-infinite stream of entertainment or intellectual stimuli, and transportation that can take you anywhere in the world in a day;
You really have nothing to complain about. Especially when past generations were undeterred by comparatively squalid conditions, hunting/farming for subsistence, had extremely short life expectancy, and never got respite from the threat of death or injury. You know why it never mattered to them? Because a wise man needs nothing more for happiness than his bonds with his fellows, and his intrinsic connection with nature.
Take a walk in the woods, and really think about everything that is going on around you. You are sitting on a revolving metal-silicate orb with a thin halo of air, water, and organic chemistry, protected by it's life-giver, the sun, by a electro-magnetic shield powered by the revolution of molten metals in the core, and stabilized by a second, smaller body of metals and minerals in perpetual orbit around it.
That thin halo has fostered, over the 4 billion years of it's history, an ever-evolving and diversifying population of life-forms, which are so joyously populous that they've turned the visible crust of the earth green with their figures. You are walking among a small community of those beings, a microcosm of perpetual life and death, decay and renewal, always full of activity but seemingly calm and still.
Why wouldn't you want to bring new people into this world to experience it?
