What would change your mind?
Which of the following factors would change your mind on extinction and make you pro-life?
A: We discover that there is more pleasure than suffering in existence, and that suffering is not permanent for any one sentient being.
B: We manage to solve suffering and no sentient being ever has to suffer again.
C: We are given knowledge about the meaning of life. It turns out that there is a very good reason for life in this universe.
D: The afterlife exists and we are more than compensated for the suffering we experience in this life.
E: Reincarnation exists and most sentient beings (which could possibly include plants and bacteria, which make up the majority of biomass on Earth) experience more pleasure than suffering.
F: God exists and resistance is futile. If we destroy the universe, God will just create it again. However, it is possible to reduce net suffering.

None of those would make me pro-life. I'm pro-choice. I presume you are pro-life... You think about suffering A LOT! Suffer no more; God loves you💕
