Re: A Thought Experiment Concerning Anti-Natalism

There's also another argument for antinatalism, which I just remembered was made by a friend around 10 years ago. She thinks we have an over-population problem, so she says she will not have offspring, for having offspring will increase the problem.
This line of reasoning seems to implicitly accept the Utilitarian ism. Of course, the argument can be attacked by rejecting the premise that we have an over-population problem.
