>>> several of my friends (millenial like myself) think that bringing children into this world is a bad thing to do- with global warming and other social problems ...and? There's nothing at all logically inconsistent about two following two propositions: P1. All human life has value. P2. Intentionally creating new human life is unethical. FWIW, I am not an anti-natalist, and I do not believe P2. However, I do believe it's unethical to purposefully have children you cannot support (financially, emotionally, intellectually, etc.). But that doesn't meant that I think that the children created by people who cannot support a child are worthless or have negative value! Just because "creating X is bad" does not mean "X has no value". > So it seems fair to assume... No, it isn't fair to assume that people who believe "creating X in situation S is bad" implies that those same people believe "X has no value". Those are two very, very distinct and different value judgements. More importantly, I very much doubt people who hold to above position would agree with this characterization of their view of the value of human life.
