As much as we ask ourselves whether the price of living is one worth paying, more than often we would prefer to pay down due to the inherent nature of survival in us all. Even for those who experience a lot of suffering that possibly brings one to prefer death, whether one thinks that life is worth living is subjective. It not only depends on how much suffering you experience, but how much you value everything else relative to suffering.

The antianalist argument of the kind summarized in [1] concerns not your continued living but whether you should bring new beings into the world. One can't ask one's unborn children to consent to be born and hence to suffer. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinatalism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinatalism, "Moral Responsibility".
