As an antinatalist, I strongly agree. I am not only pro-choice, I am pro-abortion. If someone is unsure about having children, they should absolutely not procreate. Only if a person is completely certain should it even be considered. Not only financially speaking. Besides, undecidedness might be correlated with bad time preferences.

But to be honest, can anyone truly be certain that their child will have a good life? Can you guarantee that your child will not suffer from a severe illness, autism, ADHD, or be born with significant cognitive impairments? If you are intelligent, there is a regression to the mean, so at least you can make a probabilistic guess, that your child will be about as smart as you. But its only a probabilisitc game.

Procreation is a gamble, and gambling with the life of another human being is deeply immoral. It is not a risk you are taking for yourself, but for someone who never consented to exist in the first place.

On top of that, we live in a world full of uncertainty, political instability, and economic stupidity. Bringing a child into this mess is not just naive, it is reckless.

I hate the fact, that most people dont give a second thought about this issue. Even more so people that have a lot of children. They just do it, irrespective of their own circumstances, irrespective of responsibility.
Its never for the sake of the suffering of the to-be-child. Its so short sighted.

Procreation is immoral. I will die on that hill.
