Life and Suffering - Is Having Children Morally Wrong?
Life and Suffering - Is Having Children Morally Wrong?
We talk about what is antinatalism and cover arguments for and against antinatalism. Does life inherently involve more suffering than joy and can antinatalism coexist with religious beliefs? In this video we also cover
David Benatar's "Better Never to Have Been" and ethics of having children in a sufering world.We go through popular misconceptions about antinatalism and whether antinatalism can provide solutions to overpopulation. There is an asymmetry between suffering and pleasure, and in this interview with an antinatalist (Amanda Sukenick), she shares her views on why life is not worth it. Antinatalism is all in all believing or arguing that it is morally wrong to have children or that people should be encouraged not to have children: The anti-natalist philosopher argues that it would be better if no one had children. Increasing numbers of people are identifying as “antinatalist”, as opposed to just “childfree”. Compare.
