Don't project your own depression onto others, and non-existent beings.

If you think existence "only exposes [living things] to harm" and nothing else, nothing even potentially good?

If you truly believe that, I've got no nice way to say this: You need therapy.

I mean I'm not depressed and I love living, so I wouldn't be projecting depression on to others.

I agree that people can experience good things as well as harmful things, but it's not a risk worth taking. Giving birth is gambling with human life. You never know if someones life experience is going to be overwhelmingly positive or negative, but if they are never born, that's not even an issue to worry about.
