A significant portion of the world's population lives in poverty and the resulting misery. Misery is far from "quite happy," and I suspect most of them wish their parents had some self-control.
People who live in poverty aren't miserable. Far from it. They experience exactly the same gamut of emotion as you or me, including copious amounts of happiness.
It is a very strong determination to make, that someone should wish they were never born, simply because their standard of living doesn't match what you think it should be.

You know this how exactly? I'm guessing you have never lived in poverty, but even if you have, you're making a demonstrably false generalization. Poverty permeates every aspect of the human experience. Studies have shown a clear correlation between it and suicide, likelihood of arrest and imprisonment, depression, and virtually every other negative thing a person can experience. Impoverished parents are inflicting their poverty on defenseless children that had no say in the matter.
