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.
