This bachelor thesis is concerned with the conditions under which one might choose to have children in such a way that it is morally justified. It mainly discusses Christine Overalls Why Have Children: The Ethical Debate, while avoiding issues that have to do with the health of either the parents or the child, adopting, surrogate parenthood, multiples or reproductive assistance. It deals, among other topics, with David Benatars “asymmetry of pleasure and pain” as well as Julian Savulescu’s “Principle of Procreative Beneficence.”
