Is Human Reproduction Un-Ethical?

That's a flip.  Nobody's asking if refusing to reproduce is ethical.  The question is whether reproducing IS unethical.  And clearly it can't be, because ethics is a human contstruct.  That it exists implies human existence, so those who argue reproduction is unethical may as well argue that ethics is unethical, or that existence is unethical.
