Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Seth Baum suggests that my claim that it is better never to come into existence "can readily be rejected not just out of reflexive distaste for the claim but also out of sound ethical reasoning". In my reply, I argue that Mr Baum fails to state accurately what my arguments are, and then attempts to refute them by association with other views that he dismisses perfunctorily. Where he does actually engage in my views, his response is effectively merely to assert the opposite. |
