That human life is worth living, but circumstances may not always be, so we reserve the right to choose our own exit from it, or that choosing to live is saying life is better than death?
You’re teaching your children to take their own lives when times are rough. I’m not besmirching your freedom to “exit” or anyone’s choice but who are you, me, your kids, to make a decision of that final exit based off of criteria that is subjective and impossible to understand. Not even the very wise can see the end, apocalyptic world or not.
Tell me where I said I’d teach a child suicide should be front of mind. All I mean is they should get to choose if they live - in response to someone pleading that we all stop having children.
I want to have a child. Why should I not, because the world could be in rough shape due to climate catastrophe? I’ll let them make that call and I hope they don’t have to.
