Question

Are there good arguments for antinatalism? Do we owe anything to distant future generations? Present David Benatar's two arguments for antinatalism. Then, either defend his arguments or argue against his view. Consider objections to your view and respond. Next, explain Robert Heilbroner's view. Then, either defend a rational justification for prolonging the human species into the distant future (based on one of the normative theories or your own arguments) or argue against this aim. You can either argue that there are good reasons not to continue the human species into the distant future or argue that there is no rational justification for it (in line with Heilbroner) only a way it can be motivated by feeling, which people may or may not feel. Consider objections to your view and respond.
