The Non‐Identity Problem
In Reasons and Persons. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press (1984)
Abstract
Examines how our identity depends on when we were conceived. It discusses cases that involve all and only the same people, same numbers but different people, and different numbers of people; what weight we should give to the interests of future people. It examines the case of a young girl's child; how lowering the quality of life might be worse for no one; and whether this fact makes any moral difference.Author's Profile
