Antinatalism is the philosophical view that it is morally wrong to bring new people into existence. Proponents of this view believe that it is better for a person never to have been born than to be born, because life inherently contains suffering. They often argue that since a person who never exists cannot be harmed, creating a new person involves imposing the risk of suffering on them without their consent. Antinatalism is not about advocating for the end of humanity through actively preventing births, but rather about the moral consideration of bringing new life into a world filled with pain and potential harm.
