Place of birth

Place of birth
. . . .Although the good things in one's life make is 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.

To say that the basic insight is quite simple is not to say that either it or what we can deduce from it it will be undisputed. ..... Most people, under the influence of powerful biological dispositions towards optimism, find this conclusion intolerable. They are still more indignant at the further implication that we should not create new people. ~ David Benatar
