Whoever you are, we have 3 things in common: we have not chosen life, we have not chosen to be who we are and we have not chosen where we are from. We just appeared out of nowhere. Defending that one is the owner and lord of one's life is a sensible argument for everyone since the least one can ask for in this world is to be master of oneself and to be able to choose to end what one has not freely asked for. They say that life is a "gift" but the etymology of this word means alienation, that is, a gift becomes the property of the person who receives it. Simply.
On the other hand, antinatalism defends that it is better not to procreate in order to mitigate suffering, in other words: to prevent deaths because births do not occur. It is not correct to assimilate one thing with the other. The right to voluntary death can be defended without being antinatalist (simply that anyone who does not want to procreate just don't do it). In the same way, one can be antinatalist without agreeing with voluntary death (although this would be more atypical). Antinatalists will mostly defend voluntary death but this last one doesn't intrinsic with the antinatalism in any way.

That is correct. I would also add that being anti natalist doesn't mean you want to stop others from reproducing. Some people think we are monsters just by entertaining the thought that being born creates suffering.
