Shalom Mr. (((Benatar))). Who pays your for antinatalism in Western countries while Israelis are encouraged to breed like rabbits?

Reproduction is evil.
You force an unconsenting sentient being into an existence full of pain and suffering. Into a meaningless word full of cruelty and pain.
Benatar in his book suggests not banning reproduction because he's still not 100% sure he is right, and that it might be politically infeasible.
How would you realistically go about enforcing antinatalism politically?
Obviously you'd want to give everyone easy access to reproductive care, abortions etc. But how do you stop people who still want to reproduce?

When can we expect to see an antinatalist party?
Reproduction is immoral. Prevention of reproduction should be a national policy goal, especially for potential children with various genetic or parental deficiencies that would make their life even worse that it normally is.
Criminals and people exhibiting antisocial destructive behavior will be offered strong incentives to be sterilized.

I don't think so.

Why do you care what happens to the species after you die?

>Either half could have rejected the premise, but they accepted instead
Neither was the child.
>Not my problem.
Exactly, it's the child's problem not yours. You are imposing a lot of very hard problems on someone who never asked for them in the first place and for whom it's completely unnecessary.

>Propogation of the species is one of our most basic biological imperatives. You are quite literally the result of countless generations of this imperative.
Not a good reason. Why should you follow this supposed "biological imperative"?
>If you truly believe this, then kill yourself and stop experiencing suffering altogether.
Why should I? Doesn't follow.

Benatar's Better Never to have Been is a good one.

What are your honest thoughts on antinatalism?

Life sucks. I regret having been born. It would be better if I was never born.
