> the life of such pig would not even begin, which is a good thing
The comment I was responding to said nothing about increasing the quality of life of any living beings. It only asserted that non-existence is a good thing. I made the assumption that they came to that conclusion based on the reasoning that a pig that does not exist cannot suffer. I made the extension that you can also prevent suffering by immediately ending a life. Yes, there is a distinction between failing to breed another generation and immediately killing all members of the current generation but the end result is the same.
- nsonha 5y ago> It only asserted that non-existence is a good thing this phrasing is really disingenuous. What I said was non-existence in case of farm pigs is a good thing. Try to make less sweeping over-generalized statements, especially when responding to people who aren't doing that > I made the extension that you can also prevent suffering by immediately ending a life oh cool thought, did you just bring that up to argue with yourself? Because no one said anything like that prior.
