Procreation, population and permissibility Tilsley, Sarah 10.4225/03/58b7601d8ef36 https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Procreation_population_and_permissibility/4711672 In this thesis I examine the permissibility of bringing a child into being from a person-affecting position. I argue that as long as a future person's life is somewhat worth living, and that their lifetime wellbeing has been maximised, they will not be wronged by being brought into existence. I further argue that it is permissible to bring about future population X, as long as those living with X have lives that are somewhat worth living. Finally I argue that in addition to the permissibility of procreation, becoming a parent creates many goods for the potential parent. 2017-03-01 23:58:19 1959.1/1156929 Future population X ethesis-20150424-110330 monash:153066 thesis(masters) Open access 2015 Procreation Population
