But why should we absolutely "lower net suffering"? Giving birth causes intense agony to the mother, but where are the hordes of humans advocating for the end of suffering, demanding that we put an end to natural births?
- sweetheart 5y agoBecause they believe that the net suffering is reduced by the joy being brought into the world via the birth. And there are people who believe we should stop giving birth and let our species die. They are antinatalists. I think they are too extreme, imho, but you asked where they are: just google them.
- cheese_goddess 5y agoTo be clear, I asked where are the hordes of people demanding that we put an end to natural births, not all births, ever. > Because they believe that the net suffering is reduced by the joy being brought into the world via the birth. Sorry, who believes that?
- sweetheart 5y agoAnyone who thinks there will be more joy in the world than suffering, when they have a kid.
