Document Summary
Common thought is there isn"t one or that if there is, it"s very weak. Shouldn"t try to have kids if you can"t take care of them or stop before you gave too many too take care of but other than that, you"re good. Spare the next generation from the burden of existence shouldn"t have kids under certain circumstances. **idea that you shouldn"t procreate if the end of the world is near. ** don"t procreate: unsustainable resource consumption is morally wrong while procreation isn"t morally wrong but affects the level of consumption and over-consuming based on procreation. Either accept that ego-gluttony is right or that procreation is wrong. The analogy: environmental impact for a two-person couple is e2 whereas couple who wants to have 2 kids will an impact of e5. But: procreation impacts are parallel in terms of: impact, connection between action and impact, planned vs unplanned, motive, etc.
