Conceptual anti-natalism
Conceptual anti-natalism is a philosophical perspective that questions the morality of bringing new people into existence. It argues that procreation can be ethically problematic because life inherently involves suffering and pain. By not having children, one can prevent potential harm and contribute to reducing overall suffering in the world. This view emphasizes respect for the well-being of future individuals and challenges the assumption that creating life is necessarily a positive or justified act. Instead, it encourages reflection on the moral implications of reproduction and the impact it has on both individuals and society.
