John Broome
This chapter defends the separability of people. It explains that people will be separable if and only if the neutral level for existence is the same in all contexts. It examines and rejects average utilitarianism, which conflicts with separability of people. It also rejects the view that the value of adding a person to the population might depend on the number of people who already exist.
Keywords: separability of people, average utilitarianism, existence
