Conclusion: The Future of Christian Anti-Natalism

  • Kirk Lougheed

摘要

This chapter concludes the book by reiterating its purpose to develop the best possible defense of the claim that Christians ought to be anti-natalists. The result of my study is not a decisive conclusion, though I hope it is admitted that the case for Christian anti-natalism is perhaps much more powerful than may be suspected at first glance. Christians cannot dismiss anti-natalism quickly out of hand as being inconsistent with their religious convictions. After summing up some of the main points from the book in more detail, I suggest that adopting anti-natalism should cause Christians to advocate for easier adoption processes, in addition to better including those Christians who cannot have biological children or never marry. I conclude by suggesting a number of avenues for future research including teasing out various ethical assumptions and examining the theological implications of anti-natalism.
