Bolded for absolute agreeance. Because I'm an antinatalist a lot of people I know tend to think of me as anti-child but that's certainly not the case. Once a being is brought into existence it's absolutely our responsibility to look out for them - and when I say "our" I do mean collectively. We should take care of all sentient life. And not out of obligation, but rather empathy and compassion.
