i call bullshit
>read actual article
>chronic pain

so basically just because some researchers found a new way to relieve physical chronic pain (eg lower back issues) means anti-natalist arguments are invalid? i don't even know where to begin. first, just because there has been a scientific breakthrough in a university doesn't mean it will be accessible. carbon fiber is a good example. technically, it is superior to steel, iron, plastic, and so on for all industrial purposes. but its still unaffordable on a global scale to produce, let alone buy carbon fibre products.

so there MAY be a new painkiller developed. it must be prescribed by doctors. even IF this painkiller reaches a mass distribution, which is a stretch, that doesn't mean "suffering" has been alleviated, making bringing a new life into existence 'worth it.'

a great deal of anyone's suffering in life isn't chronic physical pain. it's emotional. and guess what, there are already drugs available to alleviate emotional/existential suffering. opiates, mostly, but also for some hallucinogenics and cannaboids. even though these drugs are available, existential, emotional, chronic physical pain still continue. i'm not an anti-natalist myself, so my own representation of an antinatalist perspective is probably inadequate. just looking at the failures of your argument.

Doesn't matter, we've already wounded the planet.

>mfw watching Newsroom
>mfw I think, "Naw - that can't be right."
>mfw environmental scientists are saying it is

I am considering getting snipped, I don't want to risk bringing a child into that coming world. A sin of that magnitude cannot be forgiven.

The only data I can't find is the direct affect the coming decades will have on the US. That information may be the only thing that calms my soul. Knowing my progeny, and my relative's would have to try and survive through that...? It is the 4.2 kiloyear event all over again.

It is fucking ogre.

I love these articles. "Revolutinary (anything) discovered"

Actual quote from researcher: "Yeah, we just started it in rats, it's kinda working (we believe), we have no clue about late consequences, it proved something everyone was kinda supposing (revolutionary how?), and through heavy extrapolation we can conclude that maybe, one day, it will help humans. Maybe. There's literally no way of knowing for sure at such early stage of research."

that's exactly what I was wondering.

Do you think OP is some metamodernist genius and he will create the next infinite jest, but about antinatalism, internet culture and revolutionary painkillers? All in slightly fucked up grammar?
