I started listening to a podcast w David Benatar on the meaning of life as research for my book... OMG, its the most depressing subject ever. Antinatalism is anti-suicide, but Benatar could only cite 2 reasons to continue living.. 1. For ppl we love. 2. To generate more meaning.

"Antinatalism is anti-suicide..."
What is antinatalism's argument against suicide?

My bad, I phrased that wrong. I meant antinatalism has nothing to do with suicide or doesn't advocate suicide.

Antinatalism pertains to birth. Anti-suicide would be more aptly called antimortalism, or something like that. Some antinatalists have suicided. Philipp Mainlander comes to mind. But I think probably more pronatalists have suicided than ANs down through history.
