Summary:In this interview, we discuss Finneron-Burns' book in which she develops principles of intergenerational ethics. Among other things, we discuss how good of a life we are required to leave future people and when it is permissible for an individual to procreate. The book answers these questions by using the contractualist method to develop general moral principles.
