17 - Antinatalism
I am not an antinatalist. It would seem, however, that the idea has been growing in popularity. Antinatalism, broadly speaking, is opposition to procreation. It’s the view that it is immoral to have children. I hold that the asymmetry objection is a decisive blow to antinatalism, and respond to a few other points raised by antinatalists.
