I believe a person could be a good parent, and offset what is cruel about the world.

WE, your overlords, will not neuter YOU.
WE, your overlords, have decided we need more "Huggy Bears" in the world.

I am against neutring pets, if you don't have a garden, then simply don't get a dog or cat as pet.
The promoted health benefits of neutring are stupid.

WE, your overlords, see no need for blobfish in the world.
WE, your overlords, maintain the neutering mandate in your case stands.
Have you looked in the mirror, lately?

Somebody mentioned something about preventing pregnancy in people because of this “cruel world.” I said, sometimes, that parents could offset the effects of the “cruel world” by nurturing kids.

This ideology is called antinatalism.
I an not anti natalist, but I don’t want kids because I think it’s too late anyway.
I am...
And proud of it.
Quote:
David Benatar may be the world’s most pessimistic philosopher. An “anti-natalist,” he believes that life is so bad, so painful, that human beings should stop having children for reasons of compassion. “While good people go to great lengths to spare their children from suffering, few of them seem to notice that the one (and only) guaranteed way to prevent all the suffering of their children is not to bring those children into existence in the first place,” he writes, in a 2006 book called “Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming Into Existence.” In Benatar’s view, reproducing is intrinsically cruel and irresponsible—not just because a horrible fate can befall anyone, but because life itself is “permeated by badness.” In part for this reason, he thinks that the world would be a better place if sentient life disappeared altogether.

Leave life to single-cell organisms, I say.
But make sure they are neutered also, so they don't develop into more complex life forms.

Like a boxer who has practiced his counters, Benatar has anticipated a range of objections. Many people suggest that the best experiences in life—love, beauty, discovery, and so on—make up for the bad ones. To this, Benatar replies that pain is worse than pleasure is good. Pain lasts longer: “There’s such a thing as chronic pain, but there’s no such thing as chronic pleasure,” he said. It’s also more powerful: would you trade five minutes of the worst pain imaginable for five minutes of the greatest pleasure? Moreover, there’s an abstract sense in which missing out on good experiences isn’t as bad as having bad ones. “For an existing person, the presence of bad things is bad and the presence of good things is good,” Benatar explained. “But compare that with a scenario in which that person never existed—then, the absence of the bad would be good, but the absence of the good wouldn’t be bad, because there’d be nobody to be deprived of those good things.” This asymmetry “completely stacks the deck against existence,” he continued, because it suggests that “all the unpleasantness and all the misery and all the suffering could be over, without any real cost.”
