I will now explain why reproduction is wrong from my point of view. Maybe we don't share same point of view, maybe you aren't selfish and self-centered like I am, and that is okay. We can still talk even tho I won't change my mind even if I pretend I do.


Framefork for this debate should be selfishness from my point of view.


I think person has to be selfish, because everyone wants what they want and no one wants what they don't want, and no one doesn't want what they want, and everyone doesn't want what they don't want.


The problem with reproduction is how much it screwed me in life.


Ever since I was born, someone was circumcising me, hitting me on head, insulting me, kicking me in butt, punching me in balls, blaming me for everything I do and even for some things I didn't do, while making unreasonable demands from me such as "get a job" or "brush your teeth".


So, I dont see why my parents chose to reproduce. They screwed me and only created themselves extra expense.


Children cost money, so anyone who chooses to reproduce only becomes poorer. Further, reproduction increases amount of crime because there is a small chance you are giving birth to a murderer, thief, rapist or Trump.


If you choose to reproduce, you are merely increasing population on an already overpopulated world, and children want a lot of things like smartphones, chocolate and healthcare, and you will have to pay for all that.


If my parents didn't reproduce, I wouldn't be so screwed in life and I would be one with universe.


Same goes for animals. Every animal is born to suffer, to get eaten or to eat others violently, so animals who reproduce are merely bringing suffering upon their offspring.


Same for humans. You can't guarantee your child will even have a nice life as opposed to being severely injured in car accident, dying painfully, getting cancer, born with life ruining disorder, getting raped, bullied, depressed...


So I say that it's better to not reproduce, so reproduction is morally wrong. I chose not to reproduce so my offspring doesn't live a horrible life full of bad news and fear of inevitable death which comes for all who are born.

Well, I was thinking to limit this to reproduction of humans, but yeah animals aren't really doing themselves any favor either.

Well, if you are curious about a topic, you can ask AI. Anti natalists have a lot to say about it.
