This is the consent argument: 1. An individual is justified in subjecting someone to potential harm only if either: (a) they provide informed consent, (b) such is in their best interests, or (c) they deserve to be subjected to potential harm. 2. Bringing someone into existence is potentially subjecting them to harm. 3. Individuals that do not exist: (a) cannot give their consent to being brought into existence, (b) do not have interests to protect, and (c) do not deserve anything. 4. Hence, procreation is not morally justified. - Jimmy Alfonso Licon, The Immorality Of Procreation, Think 2012, Volume 11, Issue 32, pages 88 - |
