Anti-natalism is the view that persons ought morally to refrain from procreation. We offer a new argument for a principled version of anti-natalism according to which it is always impermissible to procreate in the actual world since doing so will violate the right to physical security of future, created persons once those persons exist and have the right. First, we argue that procreators can be responsible for non-trivial harms that befall future persons even if they do not cause them and if the harms are temporally delayed, provided the harms are reasonably foreseeable by procreators. For example, consider a case in which we can create a person in a room that is dangerously aflame. It would be wrong to do so since, once the person exists, they have a right that we avoid being morally responsible for unjust harms to them, and the fire in which we created them is one such unjust harm. Second, we argue that procreators are responsible for unjust harms that befall their children, since many non-trivial physical harms (e.g. broken bones, lower respiratory illnesses) are reasonably foreseeable by procreators. Thus, parents wrong their children by creating them. Third, we argue that procreators are also responsible for the unjust harms their children commit against others, since it is reasonably foreseeable that every person will inflict unjust, non-trivial physical harms on someone else. But this is worse since parents thereby share in their child’s future culpable intent. Finally, we consider a number of objections to anti-natalism and argue that none of them succeed against anti-natalism generally or against our argument grounded in the right to physical security.

反纳粹主义是人们应在道德上避免生育的观点。我们为反纳粹主义的原则版本提供了新的论据，据此，它始终是不允许在现实世界中繁衍，因为这样做将侵犯未来被创造者的人身安全权，这些人一旦存在并拥有权利。首先，我们认为，如果生产者合理地可以预见，即使未来的人没有造成伤害，并且造成的伤害是暂时性的，但如果造成的伤害是暂时性的，生产者也应负责。例如，考虑一种情况，在这种情况下，我们可以在危险着火的房间中创建一个人。这样做是错误的，因为一旦有人存在，他们就有权利避免在道德上对对他们的不公正伤害承担责任，而我们制造他们的火就是这种不公正的伤害。其次，我们认为，由于许多非同寻常的身体伤害（例如，繁殖者可以合理地预见到骨折，下呼吸道疾病）。因此，父母通过创造他们的孩子来伤害他们的孩子。第三，我们认为，生育者还应对其子女对他人造成的不公正伤害负责，因为可以合理预见每个人都会对他人造成不公正，不平凡的身体伤害。但这更糟，因为父母因此会分享孩子未来的罪魁祸首。最后，我们考虑了许多反对反种族主义的反对意见，并认为这些反对意见都不能普遍反对反犹太主义，也不能反对我们基于人身安全权的论点。我们认为，生产者还应对其子女对他人造成的不公正伤害负责，因为可以合理预见的是，每个人都会对他人造成不公正，不平凡的身体伤害。但这更糟，因为父母因此会分享孩子未来的罪魁祸首。最后，我们考虑了许多反对反种族主义的反对意见，并认为这些反对意见都不能普遍反对反犹太主义，也不能反对我们基于人身安全权的论点。我们认为，生产者还应对其子女对他人造成的不公正伤害负责，因为可以合理预见的是，每个人都会对他人造成不公正，不平凡的身体伤害。但这更糟，因为父母因此会分享孩子未来的罪魁祸首。最后，我们考虑了许多反对反种族主义的反对意见，并认为这些反对意见都不能普遍反对反犹太主义，也不能反对我们基于人身安全权的论点。
