Adjl, your problem is that you are starting from the assumption that because life has always existed in a certain way that must be the right way and any contradictions to that way must be the wrong way. Anti-natalism is obviously a fringe philosophy but because of that I understand both sides, having been raised in and indoctrinated by a pro-natal society as all of the rest of you. Once again I applaud you for your professional conduct but I can't help but feel the most productive type of debate would have to be between two people who understand both sides. May I suggest to you (and anyone else) the premiere anti-natalist work, Better Never to have Been by David Benatar.

Beyond expanding your mind he is far more articulate than I and gets the main points across better than I can. I'm not withdrawing from this debate by any mean but I wanted to post this as a thank you of sorts.
