It means "objectively".

There is a [parental unit]. The composition can be whatever; 2 Dads, 2 Moms, 1 of each, single parent, whatever. The defining traits of the [parental unit] is that they:
a) want to provide for child/ren
and
b) have the capacity to provide for child/ren.

The parental unit decides they are going to add 1 child to their family. They have two options:

1. Create a new human
2. Adopt a child that needs a good home

For each additional child the [parental unit] wants to add to their family, they are presented with the same 2 options. Because at the current time the parental unit is going to add a single child to their family, these are mutually exclusive options. The opportunity cost of creating a new human is condemning a child to stay in the childcare system instead of providing them a loving home. This is objectively unethical.

If you don't agree then you either don't understand objectivity or have a seriously hosed up set of ethics.

And this doesn't even touch on the environmental impacts of overpopulation.

Whether or not my ethics are seriously hosed up is subjective.

But yeah what ^he^ said: anything that would have kept your parents from having you is a moral imperative so I guess I'm in.

It's true. Only a robot could understand advanced concepts like "opportunity cost" and "giving kids a loving home is good". Beep boop indeed.

Robot overlords are the only thing that can save humanity. There is nobody else who will lead without bias or corruption and make the hard decisions that are necessary in order to fix our problems and create a better future. The 2016 election is proof that humans are not capable of providing themselves with worthwhile leaders.

Beep boop.

I have opinions. Can't get more controversial than that in this day an age.

Although if you pretend to have no opinion, you get equally lambasted for not having an opinion. Like when all the poor kids at college had their funding cut; they would get a small amount of money each week and all the ones I knew spent it on smokes. I was just over the threshold so I got nothing. I didn't sign the petition to reinstate the funding. Sadly that's the most controversial thing I have done.

Life, is an uprising within the inorganic, a tragic leap out of the inert-- life is matter animated and, it must be said, spoiled by pain.

Oh and personally I think sentience is just an evolutionary fluke that results in mass extinction, and thus ultimately extinguishes itself. Fermi paradox solved.

Native Americans were more civilized and intelligent than white people. They were also cooler, and had greater freedoms and independence than the United States ever had.

I drove through Utah last summer and stopped in SLC. There was just this weird uncanny valley type of thing going on, it was very close to being a normal big city, but it was just off enough that it was all kind of weird and off putting.
