People who opt out of having children -- the most meaningful decision in most people's lives -- because they are worried about carbon emissions should rethink the methods they use to make decisions.

- leftyted 7y agoNo one knows the "effect" of having a child because no one knows what that child is going to do in their life. It's satanic to think that you can summarize a human being in terms of tons of carbon emitted in their lifetime. If human lives have intrinsic value then you can't do that. If you don't think that human lives have intrinsic value then who cares if the world ends?
