2009 03 08      Antinatalism

Antinatalism is the philosophical position that asserts a negative value judgment towards birth. It has been advanced by figures such as Arthur Schopenhauer, Brother Theodore and David Benatar.

Video and Wikipedia entry

Interesting that both Schopenhauer's and the video's discussion of the motivations for having children miss the nurture instinct given that it seems to be one of the strongest archetypal behaviors and appears in human development right after caregiver seeking, eating and locomotion.
