Possibly, I’ll certainly be avoiding anything with any sort of particulate filter for as long as possible. They’ve utterly ruined the previous reputation for durability the diesel engine generally had.
But something had to be done to stop then chucking out cacogenic particulates. Think of the future generations.
This doesn't appear to make much sense, Future generations arent going to be significantly impacted by current carcinogenic particle emissions, apart from possibly having prematurely dead grandparents, an ambiguous effect.
Acquired cancer is not known to be generally inherited, though I suppose there might be exceptions involving mutations in germ cells.
(I'd have to look that up, but any such effect from carcinogenic particle inhalation would likely be too tiny to detect.)
Future generations are likely to be severely impacted by CO2 emissions, in which context the diesel does better than the petrol engine, and might be severely impacted by large scale adoption of nuclear power as part of an electric economy.
