What do you think about antinatalism?

Antinatalism is a philosophical view that argues people should not have children because bringing someone into existence inevitably exposes them to pain, suffering, and eventual death. Antinatalists believe that since no one can consent to being born and since pleasure never fully cancels out suffering, it’s better not to create new life at all. They often see procreation as an unnecessary risk and suggest that not being born harms no one, while being born can lead to endless forms of harm and distress.
