Current studies of anti/-natalism have been carried out mainly in the context of western philosophy. In this article, we offer a pro-natalist view based on Confucian and Afro-communitarian philosophy (Sino-African ethics). Grounded in this Sino-African perspective, we uphold that there is, at least, one reason to believe that not only is it morally permissible to procreate, but also that on some occasions, procreating is what morality prescribes. Specifically, we contend that, from a Sino-African perspective, procreating sometimes is the best way to fulfil duties of reciprocity and care towards our parents.
