Future People, the Non-Identity Problem, and Person-Affecting Principles
Suppose we discover how we could live for a thousand years, but in a way that made us unable to have children. Everyone chooses to live these long lives. After we all die, human history ends, since there would be no future people. Would that be bad? Would we have acted wrongly? Some pessimists would answer No. These people are saddened by the suffering in most people’s lives, and they believe it would be wrong to inflict such suffering on others by having children. In earlier centuries, this bleak view was fairly plausible. But our successors would be able to prevent most human suffering. Some optimists would also answer No. These people believe that most people’s lives are worth living. But they accept two Strong Narrow Person-Affecting Principles. On the Narrow Telic Principle:
