There are strong religious, spritual and traditional reasons. Many religious folk do it for good old-fashioned procreation. Some people feel that the child is like the merging of spririts/entities of the romantic couple. And some just do it becuase it's the norm.

People are cloning chickens today. The idea of spirituality running rampant is actually decreasing as science furthers itself. Humanity is finding out that life is fluid rather than fixed and inflexible. I would love to see what the religious texts of any major religion has to say about hermaphrodites.

Sometimes naturalistic ethics are adhered to independently of religion though. For example, Someone could believe that living things should not be manipulated on the premise that we should "accept people for who they are". It doesn't need to have anything to do with religion. And people can still believe in souls/ spirits witout really ascribing to any doctrine.
