It’s primarily inspired by Johann Frick’s defense of the Procreation Asymmetry in “Conditional Reasons and the Procreation Asymmetry” and “‘Making People Happy, Not Making Happy People’: A Defense of the Asymmetry Intuition in Population Ethics”, as well as “Person-affecting views and saturating counterpart relations” by Christopher Meacham (full paper here). It’s worth noting that these are fairly recent publications (2012, 2014).
It looks like “Conditional Reasons and the Procreation Asymmetry” was published in 2020, so it’s even more recent than the other articles you mention (you probably read a pre-publication draft).
I just read the paper and I really liked it.
