Year 2024, Humanity's in its golden age. Real problems? Extinct. War, crimes, poverty, hunger, even diseases: all banished into history textbooks. The only tear in this utopian tapestry? A handful of folks getting their knickers in a twist over the replication of certain patterns of zeroes and ones.

Good for you. But remember, not all brains are wired the same. Mine certainly isn't, and I'm not alone in this. The things you've listed, they just don't outweigh the pain of life and the inevitability of death for me. Nothing in life does.

You might feel it's your place to say things like "don't waste your life" or "seek therapy", assuming I haven't tried or don't know about these options. For a long time, I envied people like you, those who wake up every day with a reason, thinking there was something wrong with me. But the truth is, I was just born this way.

So, unless you can magically ensure that any life you bring into this world won't be burdened with a brain predisposed to unending existential suffering, I'd argue that you're not seeing the full picture.

100% of children would die. The world was awful, is awful and continue to be awful. We bring sentient beings to life to only subject them to the inevitable death.

Would you let another guy to paint your fence if that other guy just happened to rent a flat from the torturer and having no means to move out? Because that's the correct analogy, if you just cancel Russian that can't affect government in any significant way and stand against war (and de-facto most likely go to the prison if they are brave enough to just mention that).

Or how do you feel about being canceled out yourself because you live next to the torturer and not preventing him from torturing your neighbours at your own expense?
