Description
This volume in the Elements in Bioethics and Neuroethics series provides a comprehensive examination of antinatalism, the philosophical thesis that bringing new sentient beings into existence is morally unjustifiable. Matti Häyry and Amanda Sukenick engage with core arguments in antinatalist thought, including considerations of suffering, harm, and consent in procreation.
The book explores the implications of antinatalist reasoning, including the eventual extinction of humanity, and critically evaluates the ethical foundations underlying procreative decisions. The authors address both the theoretical underpinnings and practical consequences of antinatalist philosophy, while considering counterarguments and alternative perspectives on reproductive ethics.
This accessible yet rigorous treatment makes antinatalism comprehensible to scholars and students in bioethics, neuroethics, and related fields seeking to understand contemporary debates about the morality of having children.
