Being antinatalist does not not necessarily mean being suicidal nor does it mean advocating suicide. AN means no procreation.

Maybe. I haven't looked at the science regarding euthanasia and lower suicide rates. What I've read is that suicide is on the rise. But AN is not about suicide. Some AN's are suicidal. But some are not. Schopenhauer, Zapffe, Benatar, & others are not suicidal

I would hazard a guess that natalists are more suicidal that antinatalists, in general. But maybe not. I'm not sure how to do the math for that sort of thing. Or if the data is even available.

I think you're right if for no other reason than ANs do not re-create more misery and death by breeding.

That's a tough call. A lot of geniuses have had kids. I'm not sure high IQ is necessary to be an antinatalist. It's a matter of being deprogrammed. Removing the brainwash society lays on you and seeing the futility and potential harm in procreation.
