    Q : You said that "either miserable people can be sacrificed so happy people can exist, or potential happy people can be sacrificed so suffering people don't have to exist," doesn't that mean that either way it's unfair? If that's the case why not stick with the status quo?

    A : The reason this argument doesn't work is because even though it's unfair in both situations it's not equally unfair. Potential happy people won't miss what they haven't been alive to experience, but suffering people will suffer from existing. Therefore, it makes more sense prioritize suffering rather than happiness.

    Q : But there's a lot more happy people in the world then suicidal people. Shouldn't you take that into account?

    A : How many suicidal people is acceptable to you? 40,000 in the US alone isn't enough, so how high would that number have to be before you think having children is immoral? Furthermore, minorities have rights. If five people would benefit from raping someone else, that doesn't make rape ok. Nor is it ok to torture a minority of people by imposing life on them so that others will benefit.

    kk. I didn't understand.
    What on earth is he talking about?

    Here is an idea.
    Let's destroy the planet.
    Then, nobody can be born because there is no place to born.
    It'll be like we all (including every being on the planet) reached nirvana at once.

    by the way, don't do that. it was just an idea.
