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.

Contemplate Why Nonexistence Might Be Preferable To Existence
If you thoroughly think about it, with an open mind, nonexistence being preferable to existence might be easier to imagine.
Break The Cycle Of Harm By Not Reproducing
Like everybody else, i cause a significant amount of harm by existing, but at least i am going to break the cycle of harm by not reproducing.
Have Concern For Not Bringing The Nonexistent Into Existence So That They Don't Have To Have Concerns
I am more concerned about not bringing the nonexistent into existence than i am about existence because if no one is brought into existence, there will be nobody around to be concerned with existence. Or, more specifically, i think preventing the birth of sentient beings is more important than well-being because well-being is of no concern if there is no sentient life.
What You Can Do About The Suffering In The World
"What can you do about the suffering in the world?" doesn't have to be a rhetorical question. The answer is: Stop bringing beings who are capable of suffering into the world.

Please Do Not Disturb The Peace Of The Nonexistent
Nonexistence is peace; sentient existence is war. Bringing a sentient being into existence is starting a war that doesn't need to be started. Don't disrupt the peace of nonexistence; don't start wars (i.e., don't create sentient beings).

How To Make The Best Of A Bad Situation (Life)
How do you make the best of a bad situation? Life is the bad situation, so you best not breed in order to not bring more beings to life.
The Greatest Love
If you love someone, set them free. The ultimate freedom is nonexistence; therefore, the ultimate love is to not bring a being into existence. In biblical language: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man abstaineth from bringing another life into existence.
No One Regrets Not Being Brought Into Existence
You can regret having been brought into existence, but you cannot regret not having been brought into existence because in such a case there is no "you" to regret it.
I Don't Fear Death—I Fear Life
I don’t fear death; rather, i fear life because life is the source of all misery.
You Don't Do A Being A Favor By Bringing It Into Existence
Even if a being is happy, or glad that it was born, it still would have been better off never being; therefore, whatever brought it into existence didn't do it a favor
What Amount Of Happiness Does It Take To Justify The Harm?
No amount of pleasure or joy makes the pain or suffering worth it.
Being Born Is Like Being Thrown Into A Pit
Being born is like being thrown into a pit, and life is you trying to climb out of it—but the only way out is death.
