What do you mean by 'coming to the world'?
Coming to this life
Do you mean "by being born?"
Sorry, I don't know what this means. Do you mean 'being born?'

Yes
OK, then I think ' . . . in being born' would be correct. Though I don't fully understand the whole sentence.
How do you criticise 'the fact that....'? - if it is indeed a fact. Do you mean you are criticising "someone's claim that [we are born with no free will ??] Or are you saying that we have no choice about being born [but how do you criticise that]?
This is a fact that we are born without being asked if we want to experience life but this does not mean we cannot talk about it critically.

I agree with others that the meaning of the sentence is unclear.
You might say: "This essay criticizes the fact that individuals are unable to choose whether they will be born into the world."
How exactly your criticism will play out, I have no idea, as this strikes me as a natural phenomenon. Whom/what is there to criticize? An individual who does not yet exist cannot have a choice, and to choose not to be born prior to being born is paradoxical, because one must exist to do that. These matters go beyond the scope of this forum, however.

The trouble with using 'criticise' is that it implies that you believe this 'fact' is a bad or faulty fact. Better would be something like 'examine' or 'discuss'.
