I'm an antinatalist. I don't think anything that is sentient (has the ability to experience) should be brought into existence. Some of the reasons i'm an antinatalist: sentience is a burden, sentient beings suffer and cause suffering, existence is unnecessary.

Making Up A Meaning For Life Doesn't Vindicate Bringing A New Life Into Existence
Life doesn't have any objective meaning. Making up meanings for life might be
good for someone who is already alive, but imposing life and all the bad that comes with it on someone so that you can make up a meaning for them or so that they can make up their
own meaning is cruel and absurd.

Life Started By Accident; We Can Stop It On Purpose
There was no creator of the universe or of life. They both came about by unconscious, natural processes.
Life started by accident; we can stop it on purpose. We can stop it by preventing it from being propagated.
