Yeah, I still think it's true, although I'd assign lower certainty. (And my certainty in the first place isn't 100%.) But that's not the totality of my reasoning, I also have libertarian-ish deontological concerns. (I didn't get into that aspect with @arjunxkapoor.) Basically...

IMO no, the results are too unpredictable

So maybe the issue is reduced to propensity to suffer *in expectation,* and your threshold for ethical reproduction is just relatively high? (??)

Yesssss but it's a combination, the deontological side (put simply, it violates the NAP to create life) is also important to me

What do you get if you combine the ethics of Sonya here and Robin Hanson? Gamma radiation?

Yes, Robin Hanson thinks it'd be Extremely Good to have trillions of emulated humans working in slave-like conditions, because the marginal value of each is still positive. The joke is that his ethics and Sonya's have a physical reaction like antimatter and matter.
