      His position is not evil merely one rarely taken. He is not asking for murder nor suicide simply not breeding. You may agree with this position or not as the case may be but to make it into something it is not is a wrongness.

        His argument necessarily promotes those actions despite his weak denials. Therefore, it is necessarily evil.

          He argues that existing is worse than not existing, but then he tanks his own argument by saying:

          "Asking whether it would be better never to have existed is not the same as asking whether it would be better to die. There is no interest in coming into existence. But there is an interest, once one exists, in not ceasing to exist." So someone who does exist wants to keep on existing, even if it means suffering rather than ending it in suicide. That proves that existing is better than not existing. His argument is toast.

            You, also Benetar, need to stop death-wish. Return to God!

              He provides foundation for murder, also suicide. Also he says procreation is wrong.

              Progtards: so many species dying out Also humans should die out too!!!!

              Evil on top of more evil

                So many paragraphs on 'life is so bad!!' Then out of nowhere, 'there is interest in continuing to live!!!', just in case someone asks him why he hasn't suicided yet.

                Of course, no talk of his about what this 'interest' is, because it's just empty excuse.

                Now, for all progs: I dare to call spade spade, and it is evil.

                  This guy obviously exists so he can't speak for what the nonexistent want. We should ask the nonexistent people if they would rather exist with possible suffering or not exist at all.
