- 2The author asserts that the '100 per cent' risk of death is the only sufficient condition needed to render procreation morally indefensible.
- 3The ethical condemnation of procreation can be sustained purely by the high statistical probability of severe harm, regardless of whether existence itself is viewed as a metaphysical evil.✓
- 4The argument is fundamentally weakened if one cannot prove that coming into existence is always a net negative compared to non-existence.

The ethical condemnation of procreation can be sustained purely by the high statistical probability of severe harm, regardless of whether existence itself is viewed as a metaphysical evil.
