Lets say somebody tomorrow announced that they had created another universe and living in that universe where creatures which where of similar intelligence to that of humans and they where conscious like us. These creatures would be living a meaningless life they would be born, live for 80 or 90 years and then would die. They would go through much suffering and pain but in the end it would all be for nothing because they die at the end and there is no after life.
Would there be an uproar in human society today claiming this is a very cruel idea and is creating pointless suffering?
Is it a breach of “human rights” or the such?
In this case could you argue that it better to live and die for nothing then to never be born at all?
