Alright. I don't know what "Merit" means in this regard but so be it. I cannot find it in the publication it's associated with and will be following up with others to find out more before I return back to this topic.]
Citing a self-published e-book by a non-Philosopher? What does he consider a Philosopher? What are the standards and criteria for what is relevan?

His organization(s) and my values don't match. I may say more on this in the future. Comments have been temporarily disabled as John decided to delete his honest thoughts and proceeded to use my platform as free advertising. John and I have different views on what "good faith" means. If you have comments/questions then people can bring it up to him on his or others' platforms.

Extra context: Antinatalist Advocacy is co-founded by Lawrence Anton & John Williams. This is a reply made by John Williams on the original Antinatalist Advocacy Podcast video when I had asked for clarification and I think offers some clarity for the overall conversation we had here.
My comment: "Maybe I'm just tired and misheard or misunderstood but did John say as long as it doesn't increase the overall amount of human births, Antinatalists donating to a sperm bank might not be such a bad thing to do and something for ANs to consider doing? 56 : 18"
John's Reply: "[John] Hi Mark, you heard correctly - with several BIG caveats!
One argument made against antinatalism is that, if all the compassionate people stop having children, then they won't be able to pass on the genes that may contribute to people being compassionate (this was part of the concern raised by Peter Singer in Episode 4 of our podcast). I believe that, IF it is true that compassion is partly inherited, IF it is true that antinatalists are more compassionate, and IF donating to sperm banks does not increase the amount of procreation occuring (but rather leading to people being created who are more compassionate than the alternative), then someone concerned about this would do better to donate to sperm banks than having their own children to pass on their compassionate genes. Just so you know, this not something that I (John) will personally be doing...
My reply: "Thanks for the reply and clarification. My initial thoughts are that I don't consider this Antinatalism, it's a form of eugenics and it's a type of selective replacement Pronatalism or Natalism, in my opinion. If I have any further thoughts I will let you know though."
@WackyConundrum's unanswered question: "You say you won't be donating to a sperm bank. But if the prerequisites (the three conditions) were met, would you? Should you?"
