Antinatalist theories

Antinatalist theories argue that bringing new humans into existence is morally problematic because life often involves suffering. They suggest that non-existence is preferable, as it prevents pain and disappointment. Antinatalists believe that procreation is ethically questionable since it imposes life’s hardships on others without their consent. Some see it as a way to reduce overall human suffering and environmental impact. While controversial, these ideas challenge traditional views by emphasizing the moral considerations around birth and the value of life.
