I do feel the same way of my existence being discussed this way. Would anything be different had I not existed? No, besides my brief life experience and interactions I’ve had with other humans not occurring. I wouldn’t have even known I never existed. Is that good or bad? Right or wrong? No, it just is.

“Besides” is doing a lot of work here.

We perhaps disagree about the value of the human experience based on lived experiences.
