I was thinking captured escapees (and possibly their families) would be imprisoned (or executed) and so have fewer children in expectation as a result. By rescuing them, you may allow people living in NK to have more children in NK.
I expect the NK diaspora to increase. It’s not clear what the effect is on the population of NK.
What is the relevance of population ethics? That slightly more future people will exist under this intervention?
Yes, although it might not be a small effect; it could be more than the number of rescues, considering their descendants.
