Procreation is ethically worse than murder
Both involve the same highly unethical act of deciding over life or death for someone else without their consent, deciding for someone else whether they should exist or not, whether they should be an existing consciousness in this world or not. But at least the consequence of murder is the sweet release of death, while the consequence of birth is everything but death is a sweet release from.
Childbirth creates an entirely new death that would not have happened otherwise. Refraining from having a child is the only way to truly prevent another person's death - not just delay it. When you have a child, you have now created a new person who will suffer and die
Procreation is one of the worst crimes that anyone can commit. Someone who procreate acted in all possible immoral ways:
1- Denied consent
2- Enslaved, because now the child will be forced to work to live.
3- acted selfishly.
4- condemned death, because the only certainty of life is death.
5- tortured, because now the child will have to deal with dramas and possibly other horrible things that life does.
