Antinatalism is an ethical view that concludes that procreation is always morally wrong. The justifications are: harm/suffering prevention, the questionable nature of gambling with another life, & the impossibility of consent to be born.
In summary:
1. There's no reason to create a child that’s for the child's sake. For the potential child, birth doesn't solve any problem that it doesn't first create. All positives in life such as happiness, good food, and love are based on fulfilling needs, which get created by birth. Not creating those needs would not be bad since no one exists to be deprived of any of life’s pleasures.
2. Everyone experiences at least some suffering, and some people experience disproportionately more suffering than others. Creating a life is inherently unfair & inconsiderate!
3. Existence brings guaranteed harm for unneeded benefit—guaranteed harms being: pain, fear, worry, sickness, injury, grief/loss, fatigue, & (possibly gruesome) death!
4. The only way to guarantee that your kids won’t ever suffer is by never bringing them into this world in the first place!
5. No one has the moral right to inflict serious, preventable harms upon others without their consent. Existence is imposed without consent. No one chooses to be born or chooses the circumstances of their birth. Because a child cannot consent to being born, the default should be to assume that consent doesn’t exist and that no action should be taken on the child’s behalf.
6. It’s morally questionable to place someone in a position from which death is the only escape.
7. None of the nonexistent wish to be born, but plenty of the living wish they had never existed…
Tl;dr: everyone experiences at least some suffering, & some people just have better luck, making procreation inherently unfair & inconsiderate. No one asks to be born. We don’t have the moral right to inflict serious, preventable harms upon our unborn children without their consent!
