Thank you! I will have to think about that - interesting angle that I have not thought about before. Philosophy (the academic kind, my kind) is slow, though, so it may take a while before I get there. But I appreciate the comment! :)

Excerpt from Exit Duty Generator: - “If potential parents have a right to reproduce, then some not-yet-existing individuals have a duty to be born. To be born, however, means to be brought into an existence that contains fundamental need frustration. ... Parents would be entitled to reproduce at the expense of their children’s pain, anguish, and dwarfed autonomy. ... Since the reproducers’ claim is so bold, approaching bizarre, they do have a strong prima facie duty not to have children.” - Please read the article – or the bits concerning antinatalism (the PDF is easier on the eyes) - and talk to me. Where did I go wrong? What, if anything, did I get right? – The author is here, ready to answer all your questions. To greatness and beyond, together! :)
