ADDENDUM [written by John]
At 56:20, myself and Jack discuss the topic of antinatalists making sperm donations. I later provided some important caveats (and reiterated others) in the YouTube comment section. I would like to reiterate that, as stated in the comment section, whilst I see the logic behind the actions discussed being permissible under consequentialism (with the important caveats I mentioned), I do not advocate sperm donation as a form of activism. This discussion was inappropriate for the forum of The Antinatalist Advocacy Podcast as the opinions expressed were my own and do not reflect the position of Antinatalist Advocacy or the views of my fellow co-founder, Lawrence. I would therefore like to apologise for any confusion caused.
We're joined this month by animal activist Jack (aka Humane Hancock) to discuss our third cause area at AA - Wild Animal Suffering (or WAS). What is WAS? Are we playing God by trying to protect animals in nature? And should we have children and turn the world into one big car park to prevent WAS? Let us know your thoughts!
