> The existance of the "happy ones" and the existance of those that are so un happy that would want to cease to exist. The first doesnt affect the second.

It does, if the existence of the happy ones relies on the suffering of the others - like it does in our world.

> Those who dont want to exist can cease to exist if they want to.

Which in turn will make other people suffer (family, closed ones etc).

Number 1 is totally true. But that doesnt mean we should make humans extinct, that means we should fight for justice.

Number second is not a valid argument, because yeah, that would make other people suffer, but making humans extinct would make them lot more suffer, so its not a valid argument to make humans extinct
