Something that no one has discussed in this highly enlightened conversation here is the issue of consent. A person cannot consent to being born. Full stop. I don't know of a way around that besides ignoring it.

What's consent to a being that doesn't exist?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nothing, unless they start existing.

So, how does the concept make any sense? Can I get consent from an angel, too?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what your point is here

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My point is that the whole premise of "consent for existing" is bogus.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And how does that relate to angels?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They don't exist either.
