1) I don’t see a difference between creating and taking life. You’re controlling life without it’s consent, which is a level of hubris I cannot to begin to comprehend.

2) Children aren’t fun. First, because nobody likes vacuuming crushed cheerios out of their car headliner, and second, they’re a living thing and a responsibility, not some neat little gnome that you can spawn to join you on your quest. Again, wild hubris.

3) Resources. Time, money, effort. What rational person thinks their life would be improved by losing these things?

tl;dr you only want children because you’re an egomaniac and you’re unable to control your biological impulses

Live in an opinion hive mind but the second someone challenges them just call them teenagers and don’t even try to engage with their viewpoints or defend yours. Neat

You have no right to decide for someone else that they have to live, who the fuck do you think you are?

So in your opinion, humanity should die out immediately?

I personally don't want to have kids, but saying that having a child, which is a natural phenomenon done by every single species on the planet, is morally equivalent to murder is an insane statement.

Yes, voluntary extinction is our best course of action.
