Most people (including moral philosophers), when faced with the fact that some of their cherished moral views lead up to the Repugnant Conclusion, feel that they have to revise their moral outlook. However, it is a moot question as to how this should be done. It is not an easy thing to say how one should avoid the Repugnant Conclusion, without having to face even more serious implications from one's basic moral outlook. Several such attempts are presented in this volume. This is the first volume devoted entirely to the cardinal problem of modern population ethics, known as 'The Repugnant Conclusion'. This book is a must for (moral) philosophers with an interest in population ethics.

'The Oxford Handbook of Population Ethics' presents up-to-date theoretical analyses of various problems associated with the moral standing of future people and animals in current decision-making. The essays in this handbook shed light on the value of population change and the nature of our obligations to future generations. It brings together world-leading philosophers to introduce readers to some of the paradoxes of population ethics, challenge some fundamental assumptions that may be taken for granted in debates concerning the value of population change, and apply these problems and assumptions to real-world decisions.--

Melinda A. Roberts introduces the newcomer to population ethics and investigates the key issues in a way that will be of interest to professional philosophers, economists, lawyers, and students in all those areas who seek to understand what a cogent, intuitively plausible theory of population will look like. To that end, Roberts presents five perplexing but telling existence puzzles that already are or shall soon become important parts of the population ethics literature: the Asymmetry Puzzle, the Pareto Puzzle, the Addition Puzzle, the Anonymity Puzzle, and the Better Chance Puzzle. Roberts develops solutions to the puzzles that together form a partial theory of population, a collection of principles grounded in intuition but highly sensitive to the formal demands of consistency and cogency.

Ethics And Population Limitation written by Daniel Callahan and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1971 with Social Science categories.
The author examines the general ethical issues, development of ethical criteria, and rights of individuals, governments and voluntary organizations in considering excessive population growth and the ethical dilemma it presents. The question is posed: If traditional values assigned to unrestricted procreation with its concomitant increase in population size are to be revised, what ethical guidelines are necessary? The author sets up some formal criteria and preference ranking. When conditions require limitation of freedom, it should be limited in ways which require least amount of coercion, limit coercion to fewest cases, are most problem-specific, allow most room for dissent of conscience, limit coercion to narrowest range of human rights, least threaten human dignity, and are quickly reversible if conditions change. Freedom of choice in family planning has not yet been tried in the world, nor has an all-out educational effort been made to encourage people to change their habits of procreation. Until these are tried, coercive measures are premature.

How should we evaluate the ethics of procreation, especially the environmental consequences of reproductive decisions on future generations, in a resource-constrained world? While demographers, moral philosophers, and environmental scientists have separately discussed the implications of population size for sustainability, no one has attempted to synthesize the concerns and values of these approaches. The culmination of a half century of engagement with population ethics, Partha Dasgupta’s masterful Time and the Generations blends economics, philosophy, and ecology to offer an original lens on the difficult topic of optimum global population. After offering careful attention to global inequality and the imbalance of power between men and women, Dasgupta provides tentative answers to two fundamental questions: What level of economic activity can our planet support over the long run, and what does the answer say about optimum population numbers? He develops a population ethics that can be used to evaluate our choices and guide our sense of a sustainable global population and living standards. Structured around a central essay from Dasgupta, the book also features a foreword from Robert Solow; correspondence with Kenneth Arrow; incisive commentaries from Joseph Stiglitz, Eric Maskin, and Scott Barrett; an extended response by the author to them; and a joint paper with Aisha Dasgupta on inequalities in reproductive decisions and the idea of reproductive rights. Taken together, Time and the Generations represents a fascinating dialogue between world-renowned economists on a central issue of our time.

"This book introduces newcomers to population ethics, the inquiry into how changes in how many people, and just who, will exist bear on moral law. It also proposes a new way of thinking about the hard cases and questions population ethics is so widely known for. An intuitive first pass at what moral law has to say about choices to bring additional people into existence comes from Narveson. We are "in favour of making people happy." Or so says what this book calls the basic maximizing intuition. But we are "neutral about making happy people." Or so says what this book calls the basic existential intuition (itself a distant and more credible cousin of the person affecting intuition). Ever since questions relating to population variability gained attention in the late 1960s or so, the dominant narrative among population ethicists, including Parfit, has been that Narveson unwittingly contradicted himself-and that as between the two intuitions it's the basic existential intuition that must go. We must, the argument has been accede to a traditional total form of maximizing consequentialism. Leaving us with a (somewhat terrifying) obligation to procreate. Tying our hands in addressing climate change, disapproving of the constitutional rights of contraception and early abortion and giving credence instead to Dobbs v. Jackson and demanding grave sacrifices from vast numbers of people who do or will exist in exchange for the tiniest chance that the human species can multiply indefinitely over the very, very long term. It's a poor story. This book proposes a better story. Hard population cases generate not counterexamples disproving the basic existential intuition but rather a series of puzzles it's our job to solve under the governance of the puzzle-solving rules we all know well: we fit the pieces together without throwing any of them out and within the formal requirements of consistency, cogency and the conceptual principles we seem to have no choice but to accept. Reconciliation, and not refutation, is thus the aim, with each chapter concluding with principles-together, person based consequentialism-that allow us to retain, not the basic maximizing intuition in a careless or unfettered form, but rather in a form that is constrained in very precise ways by the basic existential intuition"--

Unprecedented advances in medicine, genetic engineering, and demographic forecasting raise new questions that strain the categories and assumptions of traditional ethical theories. Heyd's approach resolves many paradoxes in intergenerational justice, while offering a major test case for the profound problems of the limits of ethics and the nature of value. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
