Description
Contemporary Anti-Natalism by Thaddeus Metz explores the complex issues surrounding the morality of creating new human life. The book delves into the evaluative question of how to judge the worthwhileness of lives and the normative question of what basic duties entail for the creation of new lives. Some contributors argue that anti-natalism is true because it is immoral to violate another's right not to be harmed without consent, while others contend that many lives are not so bad and can be quite good. This volume brings together diverse perspectives on these issues, which were originally published in the South African Journal of Philosophy. Through a critical examination of anti-natalism, this book aims to shed light on the fundamental questions surrounding human existence and the value of life.
