PDF-(EBOOK)-Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence

Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence Thus if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existencerather than having children without even thinking about whether they shouldthey presume that they do them no harm Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm Although the good things in ones life make ones life go better than it otherwise would have gone one could not have been deprived by their absence if one had not existed Those who never exist cannot be deprived However by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence Drawing on the relevant psychological literature the author shows that there are a number of welldocumented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence The author then argues for the antinatal viewthat it is always wrong to have childrenand he shows that combining the antinatal view with common prochoice views about foetal moral status yield a prodeath view about abortion at the earlier stages of gestation Antinatalism also implies that it would be better if humanity became extinct Although counterintuitive for many that implication is defended not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population. characters or a "This can be a rare, yet costly problem and you want to know, Then click on the fly drop down window.below.If there is a “” next to the word “Ligatures” then you ne "Never, never, never give up!" ~Winston Churchill Perseverance Activities (continued)Reach for the Stars (Suggested for all grades) Give each student a paper star.
