The Repugnant Conclusion
In Reasons and Persons. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press (1984)
Abstract
Is it better if more people live? This chapter examines the effects of population growth on existing people, overpopulation, whether a decline in the quality of life could always be made up for by a sufficient increase in the number of people living. It discusses a repugnant conclusion and the level at which lives cease to be worth living.Author's Profile
