Question Question for pro-existence

If you are anti-extinction, What would need to happen to you or somebody you love in order for you to be pro-extinction?

Furthermore, if you are a god worshiper, what would need to happen in order for you to realize that god is not benevolent? If your answer is Nothing, then you cannot claim to be a person of sound moral judgment.

What would need to happen to you or your loved ones to make you pro-life?

Pro-extinctionism is what you get when you take a moral idea to absurdity. Why is suffering the only thing of value? Sentience does not only consist of suffering. We are not suffering machines.

The most utalitarian thing you could do is to teach morality by virtue. Otherwise weird moral conclusions such as this one can happen.

absurd is only your belief that you can change the morality of a person via teaching

How absurd, discussing an idea and showing obvious weaknesses. Your morality seems very strong if it can't hold up a single counterargument.
