The idea of not having children can be examined from three perspectives:
- Personal: not wanting to be a parent
- Ethical: World population should be restricted for the good of the planet and the current human population.
- Philosophical: Antinatalism which falls into several different categories.
For our featured presentation this Sunday, we will listen to and then discuss a voice podcast by David Benatar, a South African philosopher, academic and author of the book Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence. Toronto Oasis participant Elka Enola, will introduce the topic.
Elka Enola is a poet and social activist who has been an atheist since she learned the words ‘why’ and ‘how’. Since she still knows those words, her life-long quest of learning continues.
