Résumé
This paper deals with the proposal of a person-affecting version of the principle of Procreative Beneficence. Such a principle has been stated by Savulescu & Kahane in an impersonal form and balanced with a person-affecting principle of harm to address the moral problem of the selection of future children. The paper aims to show some differences between Person-affecting Procreative Beneficence and Savulescu & Kahane's hybrid position, and to distinguish the former from other pro-selection perspectives. Moreover, it explores the extension of such a principle beyond selection to other issues of reproductive ethics.
