I remember the story of the man who sued his parents for being born because he didn't consent to being born[0]. While as absurd as it is, as I navigate life, I legitimately ponder the question whether it is ethical to have children or not.

In my aging, I am more unsure of the answer.

There is also the reverse - is it ethical not to have children? Maybe the hypothetical children want to exist.
