what is anti-natalist?

 begin quote from Google AI:


Antinatalism is the philosophical view that procreation (having children) is morally wrong, or at least not morally permissible. It's based on the idea that bringing a being into existence is a harm, because life inherently involves suffering and the potential for pain and death. Antinatalists argue that because the unborn cannot consent to being brought into existence, it is unethical to subject them to a life that is guaranteed to involve suffering.
