If you could use genetic editing/biotech to remove or inactivate those genes, might you reconsider?

If the issue is consent, doesn't that imply that saving lives without prior consent (saving someone drowning, an unconscious person hit by a car or ODing etc) is unethical as well? Surely there's an empirical basis somewhere for most people actively preferring being born/alive

Another thing: if the issue is suffering outweighing happiness, does that mean that the extinction of all life on Earth would be a good thing, or that we should reorient our civilization around seeking out and destroying all sentient life? That seems a bit villainous, ngl

So wait, you don't think there's value in life even if the ratio of happiness to suffering in that life is very favorable? i.e. isn't there a point when enjoyment outweighs suffering?
