Hi Jack, thanks for the feedback! I think your suggested intuitions are about right for the first two points.
Regarding your third point, I’m inclined to phrase it slightly differently. People aren’t generally pretty sad on a life-satisfaction view, it’s more that the people AMF saves will live hard lives. That’s why we’re trying to help them. If we expected them to be considerably more satisfied with their lives, then I think the cost-effectiveness comparison would look very different.
