She knows I’d go completely off the deep end if given the chance
instead of letting myself go nuts.
Nihilism is the belief that life and existence have no inherent meaning or value. By asking me if I've ever asked kids if they wanted to be born, you are essentially ascribing a lack of value to life - or insinuating they wouldn't want to be.
Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people.
My point is: there's no need to lose one's mind about millions of potential lives that might be here if we, let's say, banned abortion for example, because neither do we own these human beings nor do they owe us anything.
