Can the person affecting restriction solve the problems in population ethics?
| Abstract | The Person Affecting Restriction, in its slogan form, states that an outcome can only be better than another if it is better for someone.1 It has a strong intuitive appeal and several theorists have suggested that the paradoxical implications in population ethics of “impersonal” welfarist theories, such as classical utilitarianism, could be avoided by adopting the restriction. | |||||||||
