Scanned the thread and I didn't catch mention of Antinatalism which is "a philosophical position that assigns a negative value to birth". David Benatar is a particularly outspoken antinatalist and at the forefront of a lot of modern day thinking in this area, he argues "that coming into existence is a serious harm, regardless of the feelings of the existing being once brought into existence, and that, as a consequence, it is always morally wrong to create more sentient beings". I don't think I personally class myself as an antinatalist, but I do agree with some of the points it raises and I personally would prefer not to have children, and some aspects of this moral argument make up part of my position.

Was it Gramsci who said it's a moral imperative not to have children as long as we have capitalism. It's both revolutionary to deny the system of workers, and a kindness to spare those children from a life of servitude. Not sure if it's relevant to this thread, but I like that sentiment 😁
