Just what the question says in the title.
It's something I have often pondered. Once you are born and begin existing, you're sort of in for the ride. There are considerations that weigh on an individual that keep them bound to continue existing, so that even escape from existence is not a victim-less crime. It's always felt a bit of a catch-22, though, because no one asks to be born and to exist, they just... are. Without having a say in it. And then they need to stick around, because once you're in, you're in.
But if you could go back and change it so you would never have existed to begin with, you were never born, so you never have to put up with any of this, would you do it?
