New Books in Philosophy · Rivka Weinberg, “The Risk of a Lifetime: How, When, and Why Procreation May be Permissible” (Oxford UP, 2016) · 3 Feb 2016 podcast

So you don't look at an effect on a specific ki uh individual, let you look at the overall effect.

Uh, going back to Kantian theories for a moment, you're not looking at effects at all.

Um be looking at other things about the act.

Uh and if you look at virtue ethics, you're looking ab at character traits and what makes you a better person.

So kind of n it it just seems to completely miss all of our ethical theories and yet

Very little attention is paid to that, which very much surprises me.

That's just

the surprises I have about the non identity problem.

But if I'm gonna talk ab you know, but it n um

As far as I'm concerned, uh, in order to address the non identity problem.

I think we can just look at the fact that

It uses existence itself to outweigh life problems when we should really take existence as a baseline for measuring whether something is harming you or benefiting you.

For example, uh, if we think about um

The fourteen year old mother

uh her child is entitled to say, Look, I uh

If I don't exist, that's fine, because it's not me.

There's no subject for that problem or that deprivation.
