Parent comment isn't a dictator. He can't 'dictate' whether you procreate or not, but he's arguing that it may be unethical to cause more suffering by doing so.

- malvosenior 7y agoIt's dictator like because it removes personal sovereignty, that aside I'd argue it's an unethical argument for multiple reasons. Who gets to decide who can have children and who can't? That's a decision that can't be made ethically. If the suggestion is that no one can reproduce, then I'd also call the extinction of the human race unethical.
