David Benatar

David Benatar is a philosophy professor best known for his "anti-natalist" views, which argue that bringing new people into the world can be morally problematic due to the inevitable suffering life entails. He suggests that non-existence is preferable because it avoids pain and harm, making existence less justifiable. His ideas challenge common beliefs about the value of life and procreation, prompting ethical debates about whether creating new life is inherently good or morally acceptable.
