In this episode, Alex talks to Prof. David Benatar about the ethics of having children, and his view - anti-natalism - according to which it is always morally wrong to reproduce. They discuss the arguments mainly in his book Better Never to Have Been (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Better-Never-Have-Been-Existence/dp/0199549265), and some difficult topics, such as mortality, suicide and abortion.
