The Antinatalist Manifesto

The Antinatalist Manifesto advocates that bringing new humans into existence is morally problematic because life inherently involves suffering. It argues that existence exposes individuals to pain and hardship, and since non-existence avoids these harms, non-pro creation is ethically preferable. The philosophy questions the moral acceptability of procreation, emphasizing weighing potential suffering against the absence of experience, and encourages reducing suffering by refraining from having children. Overall, it promotes a cautious, ethically driven approach to bringing new life into the world, prioritizing compassion and the reduction of harm.
