The distinction between choosing childlessness and holding that no one should procreate is real. What follows from the second view is not a demand that anyone alive change. It is a claim about the next person. The economic half deserves a direct answer, because it is the strongest part: modern growth presupposes continuous population expansion, new workers funding pensions and new consumers driving markets. Stated plainly, that requires imposing existence on unconsenting beings so they can serve as economic instruments for those already here, inheriting the debt and the degradation. The problem of caring for an ageing population is real. It has to be solved through automation, institutional reform, mutual aid and resource reallocation, and not by creating people whose justification for existing is to care for those who preceded them.
