[3] Person-affecting views are also important in considering human population control.
Person-affecting views can be seen as a revision of total utilitarianism in which the "scope of the aggregation" is changed from all individuals who would exist to a subset of those individuals (though the details of this vary, see the section below).
[3][4] Some philosophers who have discussed person-affecting views include Derek Parfit, Jan Narveson, John Broome, Jeff McMahan, Larry Temkin, Tatjana Višak, Gustaf Arrhenius, Johann Frick, Nick Beckstead, and Hilary Greaves.
There is no single "person-affecting view" but rather a variety of formulations all involving the idea of something being good or bad for someone.
[8] These are less prone to the conclusion that extinction is good than hard asymmetric views.
