Ep. 130 Disability, Grief, and Anti-Natalism with Lari Launonen
Manage episode 377414671 series 2525229
Everything that is born is destined to die. Human existence is filled with tragedy. Should we continue having children? Should we bring life into existence knowing full well that it will come to an end? Today I have Dr. Lari Launonen on to discuss his personal experience with having a child with a disability, the grief of losing that child, and his reflections on anti-natalism.
