Thanks. So, of course I think we should discuss the ethics of actions that affect who is born. If that’s all that population ethics is, then it’s hard to be against it. But all the discussion of it I’ve seen makes some fundamental assumptions that I am questioning.
You’re welcome to lay out your own theory of population ethics. The more I read about it though the more it seems like a minefield where no theory seems to evade counterintuitive/repungnant results.

What assumptions are these specifically?
