I now have to look into it. I am really curious about the third institution.

I think it's interesting but I don't really buy the idea that non-existence is such a bad thing. Yes, people who are already alive generally enjoy the fact that they exist. But people who do not yet exist probably aren't able to form an opinion on whether they would like to be born or not. I think it's still worse for Person A to live in a world without enough ressources than it is for Person B to not exist in a world with enough ressources. And even if Person A or B never exist, others will, so it doesn't matter so much which individuals are born, considering how many people there are on the planet...

Thank you so much for the video. I'd been trying to understand the non-identity problem for a paper on climate change justice - this helped enormously :)

I see the non-identity problem as a false dilemma because you are dealing with unknowns, which are more likely to be affected by ones present intention. For example, as far as experience shows, the young girl is better off not having the child because that child is much more likely to suffer a bleak and underprivileged existence. Hypothetically accessing the situation of the child before or after the fact is not realistic or non sequitur.
