Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement
In this article we provide a number of reasons for thinking that it is both wrong and unwise to procreate.
Humans are the most destructive creatures on the planet. We cause vast numbers of animal deaths (both directly and indirectly). We destroy habitats. We damage the environment. We are currently heating up the world’s climate in a way that is likely to be detrimental to countless numbers of animals (ourselves included). And we have the means, nuclear weapons, to destroy everything at the push of a button. (…)
The best way to stop the destruction is to remove the destructive force; to remove humans by refraining from procreation. In short, the colossal amount of harm caused by humans gives us a moral reason to boycott the human species. (…)
To procreate is to take an unjustifiable gamble that future generations will behave responsibly (more responsibly than us).
