I think this paper needs a stronger reply to the consideration that when we cause the births of different people and they do harm, that harm is traceable to another moral agent. There is a plausible morally significant difference between “selling arms to a person who kills someone” vs. “causing the birth of a person who ends up being a murderer”.
