alt Hacker NewsI wouldn't have offspring because I don't want to have anyone be born into this world; it's awful. On the other paw, I would adopt if it could help someone already having to exist in this world to lead their best life.

But then the next generation is all made of the people who turned this world awful. What about being the change you want? I guess if you gave an orphan a good life, that would count though.

You're reeking of "positivity", please do not adopt a child.

They are there awaiting you to act
Birth is as inevitable as existence, there is no opt out in the grander metaphysical scheme of things.
Also just a thought - is that really your reason for not having them? If a person truly believes the bad outweighs the good I'm less inclined to believe them when they're still among the living, because the choice to stay alive shows they see some inherent value in the state of being alive.
Personally I'm clear on why I don't want kids: because I'm a hedonist.
