=== Consent Issues, Social Contracts, and Antinatalism ===

While not a problem specific to anarchist forms of transhumanism, the emphasis on autonomy and self-determination intersects with the larger issue of consent to various enhancements and interventions, especially at the beginning stages of life and when unconscious or unable to communicate.  

A common response to this is the observation that the initial conditions of one's life are never voluntary and cannot be, as one does not exist beforehand to evaluate and give or withhold consent.<ref name="bostrom-human-genetic-enhancements">[https://nickbostrom.com/ethics/genetic.html Human Genetic Enhancements: A Transhumanist Perspective], Nick Bostrom, <i>Journal of Value Inquiry</i>, Vol. 37, No. 4, pp. 493-506.

This argument is taken further by [[Antinatalism|antinatalists]] considering the creation of new human life, and sometimes other sapient life, to be an act of inherently negative value in <i>any</i> circumstance.  Largely built on philosophical arguments, antinatalists sympathetic to [[Environmentalism#Dark Green|dark green environmentalist]] perspectives may combine the two, as with the [[Voluntary Human Extinction Movement]].

A parallel issue arises in social conditions that see the adoption of certain technologies as so widespread and essential to participate in society as to be unavoidable.
