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.

Defend The Right To Remain Nonexistent
They have no way of defending themselves, so those who could potentially exist are totally at the mercy of those who exist in regard to whether or not they are born. Let's be merciful and spare them the burden of existence, and urge others to do likewise.

Stop Making Excuses And Go Against Nature
Boys will be boys? Then stop making boys.
You're only human? Then stop making humans.
Reproducing is natural? Then defy nature.

Procreation Is Not A Victimless Crime
If you don't have a problem with what people do as long as they don't cause harm to others, then you have a problem with people creating sentient beings (e.g., breeding animals, making a new human) because of the harm caused by being born.
